Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Wyrd Sisters is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. 

'Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.'

Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing.

Witches don't have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they don't have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don't have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe. Particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off....

With an afterword by Joanne Harris.

Wyrd Sisters is the second 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.

Finally, Discworld audio that is listenable!

I have so far not got on with any previous Discworld audiobooks, the voices and narrations have all been awful, so it was with some trepidation that I got Wyrd Sisters read by Indira Varma and Small God's read by Andy Serkis. Different narrators but both excellent! I will be getting the rest of the Witches series now and and quietly hopeful for the upcoming Watch books. Perfect!

Great book

My first Terry Pratchett book and I’m totally hooked. He has a very unique style, very funny, witty and eccentric.
Indira Varma is an exceptional narrator.

Shakespeare who?

what can you say about such a lovingly crafted telling of Pterry? it's perfect! indira varma has such talent and paired with the wit of Pterry, I am again charmed by his take on The Scottish Play. Granny weatherwax can headology me anytime!

Much happier with this version.

The only fault I have with this reading, is that no one gets either Nanny’s or Grannie’s voices quite right, but there again, the voices in your head are alway in glorious technicolour :-()

Love the way the footnotes are handled, and Bill Nighy is perfect.
