About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

'A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on'

William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper.

Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.

William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but The Truth is a standalone novel.

Brilliant

Took a while to get used to the voices after Stephen Briggs but after that it was flawless.

Baynton aces it!

Great performance from Baynton really enhances one of Pratchett's best novels. A great anti-elite polemic.

Excellent

One of my all-time favourites immaculately brought to life! I’d read the book twice as a young adult and yet found it just as entertaining as a much older person.

All Lies,…

This is a great book and I was sad to see it didn’t become its own series.

Fantastic

I thoroughly enjoyed this, due in no small part to Matthew Baynton’s wonderful narration, each character was uniquely voiced and brought to life.

Another classic. Not the best but still great.

Doesn’t quite match up to guards guards and a few other all time greats but still a great story.
