Description
The funniest, most insighftul, clever and totally bonkers parody of all things Shakespeare, filled to the brim with Pratchett's signature style.
'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own' The Times
'The Discworld novels have always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies' Independent
'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian
Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders they didn't have.
But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe...
