À propos de cet audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
'No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect or offers sharper insights into the absurdities of modern endeavour' Daily Mail
The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
Fairy godmothers develop a very deep understanding about human nature, which makes the good ones kind and the bad ones powerful.
Inheriting a fairy godmother role seemed an easy job . . . After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince?
Quite hard, actually, even for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. That's the problem with real life - it tends to get in the way of a good story, and a good story is hard to resist.
Servant girls have to marry the prince, whether they want to or not. You can't fight a Happy Ending, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a rival Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse.

Ce que les critiques en disent
'His jokes are the best thing since Wodehouse. His comic footnotes are still glorious'
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrit Garlick and the 3 main witch charters featured in many Discworld books from Sir Terry Pratchett. More developed in later books.
I must say, dearest reader's that when I first met the 3 I was not sure I would like them. Granny Weatherwax in particular.
I could not have been more wrong. Granny has taught me so much about myself, other people, and the difference between unreal and real magic. The kind of magic we all have and use everyday. Granny Weatherwax has become one of my favorite and most respected of all of Sir Pratchett's charters. She has even had me in tears 😢. If you are familiar with these books you may know what I am talking about.
In this book Granny Weatherwax faces one of her toughest challenges, The Happy Ending and her own sister. Written with his usual sense of humor I think Sir Pratchett had fun with this book. Have the three witches travel through various parts of the world on their way to save a kingdom from the dreaded "Happy Ending".
Tony Robinson does a very good job with his narrative. The book as a whole is a very good read/listen.
As ever and always I want to thank everyone involved in the creation, publication, production, distribution, and supporting both the written and audiobook format. The would is a better place with good stories in it.
Yours
