The sixth in the Discworld series. Kingdoms wobble, crowns topple and knives flash on the magical Discworld as the statutory three witches ('This cauldron's got all yuk it it!) meddle in royal politics. But Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick find it's all a lot more difficult than the playwrights would have you believe. Everything you;d expect is here: hunchbacked kings, lost crowns and disguised heirs, not to mention a stage-struck thunderstorm and the first recorded instance of the inflight refuelling of a broomstick . . . Through it all the Three Witches battle against frightful odds to put the rightful king on the throne. At least, thatr's what they think . . .
