Witches Abroad (Discworld, #12)Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


If this one had a subtitle, it would be “Wherever they go, there they are.” The witches go, er, abroad, to the strange land where they put the plumbing indoors (can you imagine? How unhygienic!). Lots of adventuring, toing and froing, and making themselves understood in other languages by the time-tested method of saying it louder ensues. And then when they get there, what they find is bits of themselves. Pratchett and his mirrors stuck bang in the middle of fractured fairy tales. I swear, he just can’t help himself.
