'People didn't seem to be able to remember what it was like with the elves around. Life was certainly more interesting then, but usually because it was shorter. And it was more colourful, if you liked the colour of blood . . .'

On Midsummer Night, dreams are especially powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they can cause the walls between realities to come crashing down. And some things you really don't want to break through.

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick return home to discover that elves have invaded Lancre. And even in a world of wizards, trolls, dwarfs, Morris dancers - and the odd orangutan - they're spectacularly nasty creatures.

The fairies are back - and this time they don't just want your teeth...

Lords and Ladies is the fourth book in the Witches 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.

Fantastic

The witch stories are my favorite Discworld stories and this is one of the best. Top notch narration as well.

Clever as usual

Terry Pratchett’s 1992 Discworld novel (the 14th & 4th The Witches series) Lords and Ladies describes a negative vision of elves gives the whole book a dark tone compared to the other Discword novels. Based on a few bits I picked the book is a satire of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and it has been several years since I have read it so I think I might miss many of the gags. but there was still lots to enjoy. So far the witches are my favorite Discworld characters so to have another book with them as the central characters is great. Granny Weatherwax was especially awesome in this one; she is such a wonderful character. Magrat character evolved more which was nice to read.

You can usually read any of the Discworld books out of order if you want to. This one I’d say you get most enjoyment of if you’ve previously read Witches Abroad - as part of that storyline continues in this one.

Pratchett’s storytelling is as clever as usual, and I found myself laughing often. I love his commentary on day to day things and how he writes his humor.

Indira Vama is great

I love the Witches series, and Indira Vama’s reading is perfect for the characters. She does each one just right.

best one yet!

A narrator has Eased into a wonderful sense of sense of the witches I love this book..

sooo good!

This book has everything. I laughed I cried I was frightened. I built-up all the emotions that my little mortal body could possibly feel. My only problem is that sometimes the voice actor was very soft and I had to listen so hard but it was well worth for a wonderful wonderful story.

Masterful

Another fantastic performance by Indira for a much loved story. I’ll always recommend Terry Pratchett. His humor and deep storytelling intertwine to create some of the most unique and entertaining works of our time. Their plots are enduring and ageless and this continuation of the witches series is no different.

awesome!

Granny Weatherwax gave me chills. The narrator voiced all of the characters excellently. 10/10 would listen again.

Love the Wyrd Sisters

that it ended. on to my next Pratchett journey. hope you have taken the journey, as well.

brilliant

The superb reading of this book really enhances the wit and humour of this book. totally recommend it.

Granny Weatherwax at her best

The witches defeat the elves, shoe a unicorn and take over a swarm of bees.. Excellent story.
