A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the fourth book in the Witches series, part of the Discworld novels.
‘Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy’ The Sunday Times
Cleverly blends Discworld fact and fairy tale fiction in this exciting and very funny taleIt’s a classic! 5-star reader review
‘People didn’t seem to be able to remember what it was like with the elves around. Life was certainly more interesting then, but usually because it was shorter. And it was more colourful, if you liked the colour of blood . . .’
On Midsummer Night, dreams are especially powerful.
So powerful, in fact, that they can cause the walls between realities to come crashing down. And some things you really don’t want to break through.
The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick return home to discover that elves have invaded Lancre. And even in a world of wizards, trolls, dwarfs, Morris dancers – and the odd orangutan – they’re spectacularly nasty creatures.
The fairies are back – and this time they don’t just want your teeth . . .
Lords and Ladies is the fourth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
