Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett

5.0

I really do absolutely adore [a:Terry Pratchett|1654|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1235562205p2/1654.jpg]'s Discworld series. While in some ways, due to the weak start that was [b:Equal Rites|386366|Equal Rites (Discworld, #3)|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1303055418s/386366.jpg|583611], the witches are not my favorite books in the series, I have to say I utterly adore the way they play with stories. [b:Witches Abroad|2442|Witches Abroad (Discworld, #12)|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298411930s/2442.jpg|929672] takes the concept of fairy tales, particularly that of Cinderella, and plays with them in ways one would never expect, weaving in most every other fairy tale one could think of including some I had forgotten. As always, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg are almost impossibly hilarious and Death makes an appearance, sealing the delightful nature of the book. I highly recommend this book.
