Witches Abroad is the twelfth Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett, originally published in 1991.
A story about stories. Granny Weatherwax has jokes!
A wonderful retelling of Cinderella and other fairy tales with modern sensibilities and exploration of the consequences of easy magic solutions. Some very good headology was used to motivate the other witches to help Magrat be a fairy godmother.
Another very funny books in the witches series. So many brilliantly interwoven stories and borrowed ideas and themes. I had to laugh out loud a few times and will definitely continue my journey into the Discworld universe!
