The Witches of Lancre are not your traditional pointy-hatted spellcasters. Well, they do have the hats, but the real magic is knowing when to use a spell, when to use common sense and when to simply glare at someone until they give up. Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick deal with everything from vampires and elves to kings, curses and family arguments. The Witches books combine folklore, fairy tales and village life with some remarkably sharp observations about people. They are funny, occasionally dark, and contain rather more wisdom than you might expect from a story involving a talking cat.
I’m a big fan of Audible and, as you’ll probably have noticed from the number of audiobook reviews on this site, I use it regularly myself. I love having such a huge library of audiobooks available whenever I fancy starting something new, and it has become a pretty essential part of my reading routine. If you’re an audiobook fan too, or you’ve never given audiobooks a try, I’d definitely recommend taking a look.
