'It's all there - a wicked duke and duchess,the ghost of the murdered king,dim soldiers,strolling players,a land in peril.And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and Magrat Garlick (naive, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies).                                    Kingdoms wobble,crowns topple and knives flash on the magical Discworld as the statutory three witches meddle in royal politics. But Granny Weatherwax (of Equal Rites) and her fellow coven membesr find it's all a lot more difficult than playwrights would have you believe. . . . Everything you'd expect is here - hunchbacked kings,lost crowns and disguised heirs.And they are joined by things you haven't heard of yet, like a stage-struck thunderstorm and the first recorded instance of the in-flight refuelling of a broomstick.Through it all the wyrd sisters ("This cauldron's got all yuk in it!") battle against frightful odds to put the rightful king on the throne.At least,that's what they think. . . .                                 'Wyrd Sisters' is the sixth of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels,which are now well-established as the funniest fantasy series ever - and among the funniest novels of any kind currently being published.                        Please contact the seller,particularly ALL overseas buyers,because of the value of this item for correct [insured or uninsured at own risk] shipping/P+p quotes BEFORE placing your order,especially if ordering any multiples.      N.B.
