‘You can’t go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise, it’s just a cage.’
There’s power in stories. The Fairy Godmother is good. The servant girl marries the Prince. Everyone lives happily ever after . . . don’t they?
The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick are travelling to far-distant Genua to stop a wedding and save a kingdom. But how do you fight a happy-ever-after, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a power-hungry Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can’t refuse?
It’s hard to resist a good story, even when the fate of the kingdom depends on it . . .

Witches Abroad is the third book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
From the Publisher
Welcome to the Discworld
Magic is as integral to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld as gravity is to our own. And although some of its inhabitants are witches, dwarfs, wizards and even policemen, their stories are fundamentally about people being people.
The Discworld books can be read in any order, but this is a particularly good place to start.

Meet the Witches
Discworld’s witches are based around the rural and mostly vertical kingdom of Lancre.
They deliver babies, treat warts and keep an eye on troublesome kings, vampires or incursions from other worlds, which they do not hold with.
They don’t have leaders, but Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don’t have.
She is helped by Nanny Ogg – mother of fifteen and brewer of lethally strong cider.
Magrat Garlick, often described as a “wet hen”, is the third member of the coven.

Read more about The Witches:
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not half so bad as a lot of ignorance. Meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe… Inheriting a fairy godmother role seemed like an easy job at the time… The fairies are back – but this time they don’t just want your teeth… This isn’t real life – it’s worse. This is the Opera House, Ankh-Morpork. Welcome to Lancre, where the newest residents are a thoroughly modern, sophisticated vampire family.
