Publisher's Synopsis
Another great title in the Discworld Series!! Kingdoms wobble crowns topple and knives flash on the magical Discworld as the statutory three witches meddle in royal politics. But Granny Weatherwax(of Equal Rites) and her fellow coven members find it's a lot more difficult than playwrights would have you believe. . . Everything you'd expect is here -- hunchbacked kings, lost crowns and disguised heirs. And they are joined by things you haven't heard of yet, like stage-struck thunderstorm and the first recorded instance of the in-flight refueling of a broomstick. Through it all the wyrd sisters("This cauldron's got all yuk in it!") battle against frightful odds to put the rightful king on the throne. At least, that's what they think. . .
