DISCWORLD and TERRY PRATCHETT are registered trade marks of. It comes from the inside, not the outside. Check out Cornish Mikey for fully painted Discworld Miniatures. Quite an adventure! And the moral of the story is, you can’t force happiness on people. There is also a tale of sibling rivalry and an outrageous episode in which Nanny’s cat, Greebo, is transformed into a man. There’s a frog prince, a sleeping beauty, a magic spinning wheel, a big bad wolf, a voodoo priestess, a zombie, a dwarf love machine named Casanunda (get it?), a lot of business to do with pumpkins, a riverboat gambling parlor, a Mardi Gras, a masked ball, some interesting magical duels, and a girl named Emberella forced to work as a servant though she is destined to be queen. Like most people most people, at any rate, below. It’s about good and bad fairy godmothers - you can’t have one without the other - and the peril of magic mirrors, and the evil of happy endings, and the way one witch tries to force the real world to live a storybook life (which amounts to, Be Very Happy On Pains of Death). Witches are not by nature gregarious, at least with other witches, and they certainly dont have leaders. The front-cover blurb summarizes it as “Three witches make the Godmother an offer she can’t refuse,” which sums it up pretty well. This time it’s a take-off on the fairy tale of Cinderella, and several other fairy tales get mixed up in it, as well as a journey to the Discworld equivalent of New Orleans. The twelfth novel of Discworld stars (once again) Granny Weatherwax and her friends, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick.
