Book description
'Things have to come to an end, see. That's how it works when you
turn the world into stories. You should never have done that. You
shouldn't treat people like they was characters, like they was
things. But if you do, then you've got to know where the story ends.'
It seemed an easy job... After all, how difficult could it be
to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince? Quite
hard, actually, even for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and
Magrat Garlick. That's the problem with real life - it tends to get in
the way of a good story, and a good story is hard to resist. Servant
girls have to marry the prince. That's what life is all about.
You can't fight a Happy Ending, especially when it comes with glass
slippers and a Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse.
At least - up until now...
Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today.
He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to
get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three
already'.He was appointed OBE in 1998 and his first Discworld novel
for children, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, was
awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
Witches Abroad is the twelfth novel in his phenomenally
successful Discworld series.
