Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Wintersmith is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Steven Cree (Outlander; A Discovery of Witches) voices the Nac Mac Feegles. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

Saying it with frozen roses and icebergs

Tiffany Aching leaps into a dance - and suddenly the spirit of winter is in love with her. He's showering her with snowflakes and offering her a crown of ice. Which is creepy, but also just a little bit... cool.

Now she's dancing to his tune. She can't change the steps.

But unless Tiffany can work out how to deal with the Wintersmith, there will never be another springtime...

Wintersmith is the third book in the Tiffany Aching series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Beautifully written and read.

Thoroughly enjoyed this third book in the Tiffany Aching series. We all need the Nak Mac Feegles in our lives.

Very enjoyable, scary and funny at the same time.

I’ve enjoyed all the Witch books. Beautifully read by Indra Varma and all the supporting cast.

The Voice acting

Peter Serofinowitz as Death is exactly how I imagined Death sounding. The story telling is fantastic and I actually enjoyed listening more than I expected

One of Sir Pterry’s best

Great story telling from one of my favourite authors. The new recording read by Indira Varma really brings the characters to life, and the additional voices for footnotes and Death bring a continuity to the whole series. I have read all the Discworld books and this is one of my favourites, classic storytelling at its best.

Varma and Pratchett are perfect together

I love the story. It is quintessential Pratchett. I’m mind blown by how well Indira Varma portrays every character and the narrators voice perfectly. Pratchett has plenty of subtlety, depth and quick wit and how Varma captures that all with seamless transition! How!?!? I’m so glad she’s done the Tiffany Aching series too! I can’t get enough of the rest of the witches series

Another cracker

Love Indira Varna’s renditions of these. This is one of my favourite Pratchett’s and does not disappoint. Excellent.

Perfect

Indra Varma was exquisite as always, this has been my favourite listen so far! The story is beautifully written, the characters have more depth than many humans and the situational humour had me laughing out loud often
