Lords And Ladies

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The fourteenth Discworld novel and fourth in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.

Lords And Ladies explores a world where people couldn't quite recall what life was like when the elves roamed free. Life was certainly more interesting then but often much shorter, and more colourful if you were fond of the colour of blood.

On Midsummer Night, dreams have a potent influence, powerful enough to bring down the barriers between realities. And there are some things you really don't want breaking through.

The witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick return home to find elves have invaded Lancre. Even in a world teeming with wizards, trolls, dwarfs, Morris dancers, and the occasional orangutan, elves remain particularly nasty creatures.

The fairies have returned - and this time, they're not just after teeth...

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' - Mail on Sunday

'Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy' - The Sunday Times

Lords And Ladies is the fourth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
