A satirical fantasy novel and the twelfth instalment in Terry Pratchett's beloved Discworld series, Witches Abroad sends the indomitable trio of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick on a riotous journey far from home. When Magrat is bequeathed a magic wand and tasked with preventing a young woman from marrying a prince, the three witches embark on a chaotic tour through a world where fairy tales have gone dangerously wrong. Pratchett masterfully skewers the power of narrative itself, arguing that stories have a will of their own and a terrifying tendency to insist on their own happy endings — regardless of the cost. Written with his trademark razor-sharp wit and deep humanity, the novel illustrates how the greatest magic is not in wands or spells, but in the stubborn refusal to let the story win.
