Lords and Ladies - Terry Pratchett Reviews

You may not know this, but the world actually is flat. This is Discworld, Terry Pratchett’s Discworld to be precise. The Disc, as it is more commonly referred to, is in fact supported by four giant elephants (Berilia, Tubul, Great T’phon and Jerakeen) which stand on the back of the star turtle, the Great A’Tuin. The seas ...

Elfs are taking over the discworld and its up to the number one witch on the disc to fight back. if this wasn't enough there is a new witch in town to duel and she's going to die. soon. this book is one of the best of Terry Pratchett's. Granny Wheatherwax, my apsolute favourate character is once again putting destiny back on track. ...

This is Terry Pratchetts 14th Discworld novel; it is based on A Midsummer Nights Dream. The preface to the book gives all the details from the previous books that relate to this one, so having read other books in the series is not necessary but does add something to the understanding of the book in general. The books particularly relating to this ...

Lords and Ladies is number 14 in the Discworld series and covers the exploits of the witches of Lancre. 3 witches, mother maiden and crone (Nanny Og, Magrat Garlick and Granny Weatherwax respectively). The book is a follow on from the other witches novels in the Discworld series, Equal Rites, Witches Abroad and these give a little of the ...

Fairys are cute little people who grant wishes, Right? They're pretty princesses, yes? They sneak in during the night and wash you dishes, don't they? Don't they? Well actually no. If you go back to the older myths and traditions, as the excellent Mr Pratchett has clearly done, you get a very different kind of tale. ...

"Only one queen in a hive! Slash! Stab!" If the kingdom of Lancre is the hive, then Going-to-be-Queen Magrat must contend with the Queen of the Elves for the royal jelly. It's all great fun so long as you don't get in the way. However, a little background reading is essential to a full understanding of the novel. ...

Lords and Ladies is another classic from the pen of Terry Pratchett. It involves the three favourite daughters of Lancre, Nanny Ogg, Granny Weatherwax and Magrat, all of whom are witches. Magrat however is about to switch jobs, going from a witch to being Queen of Lancre. Seeing that the witches are being weakened by the loss of Magrat ...

This book is one of the large series of Discworld books and as with most of the Discworld is based on something from classic literature. This time round the influence is Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream. The main story is all about elves. The elves were once present on the Discworld but due to the efforts of witches at the time ...

Based loosly around Shakespeare's A midsummer Nights Dream (and I mean loosely) much like Wyrd Sisters had elements of Hamlet in, this Discworld novel is perhaps my favourite of the witches bundle. Granny Weatherwax is as indomitable as ever but the chips in her facade are revealed in this book adn instead of weakening the character they ...

And the witches return to us in all their glory. Well not all their glory, this isn't the best book for Granny Wetherwax and crew, but thats a relative statement. Its only not as good because its being compared to some amazing books Terry P has written. Granny Wetherwax is still ruling the world with her own style of dictatorship, and ...

I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett's work, and I have to say that the witches are my favourite characters. In this outing, the trio (Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick) pit their wits against Elves and younger, brasher rivals, with lots of Morris dancing and jolly japery along the way. After a bit of a disappointment with ...

Nanny and Granny are manipulating things again in Lancre. There are some young girls who fancy themselves real witches and they are dancing where no one ought to dance. It is up to the real witches to sort the young ones out and make everything alright. The only problem is that the dancing has attracted the Lord and Ladies--the elves. Elves are ...

"Lords and Ladies", Terry Pratchett's 14th Discworld novel, takes place in Lancre, the tiny kingdom where Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg live, and a kingdom you could skim a pebble across. If it was made of water, which it's not. It's made of hills. Magrat Garlick (unfortunately her mother couldn't spell ...
