About the book

The funniest, most insighftul, clever and totally bonkers parody of all things Shakespeare, filled to the brim with Pratchett's signature style.

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own' The Times

'The Discworld novels have always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies' Independent

'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian

Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders.

Granny Weatherwax was the most highly regarded of the leaders they didn't have.

But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe...

    Hexen, Theater und tote Könige, beschreibt sehr treffend was hier passiert!

    Ich mochte Oma Wetterwachs im Erbe des Zauberers schon sehr und jetzt darf sie mit zwei Hexen Kolleginnen die Welt retten. Oder sie machen erst alles schlimmer und versuchen es dann wieder gerade zu biegen, je nach Sichtweise. Es macht auf jeden Fall Spaß zu lesen, die Story mag ich sehr gerne. Das einzige was etwas verwirrend ist ist der Wechsel zwischen Theater-Skript und „normalen“ Buch. Aber es macht das Buch unglaublich sympathisch!

    Guter Pratchet

    Lustig wie immer. Geister sind jetzt auch dabei, 15 Jahre vergehen wie im Flug und ein Narr muss kein Narr bleiben. Hexen , diesmal 3 und viel Theater. Bisschen Ank Morpork und eine Zwergentaverne. Das Schloss ist Morsch :)

    Definitiv nicht mein liebstes Werk von Pratchett, aber auch hier ein wahnsinnig witziger Roman. In Hörbuchform, gelesen von Katharina Thalbach, auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!
