Description
The third Discworld novel and first in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.
Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the first book in the Witches series, part of the Discworld novels.
'If you've never read a Discworld novel, what's the matter with you?' - Guardian
'Terry Pratchett once again creates a fantasy masterpiece' - 5-star reader review
'They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.'
Everybody knows there's no such thing as a female wizard.
So, when the wizard Drum Billet accidentally passes on his staff of power to an eighth daughter of an eighth son, a girl called Eskarina (Esk, for short), the misogynistic world of wizardry wants nothing to do with her.
Thankfully Granny Weatherwax, the Discworld's most famous witch, has plenty of experience ignoring the status quo. With Granny's help, Esk sneaks her way into the magical Unseen University and befriends apprentice wizard Simon.
But power is unpredictable, and these bright young students soon find themselves in a whole new dimension of trouble. Let the battle of the sexes begin . . .
Equal Rites is the first book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

About the Author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
