In Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett an old fairy godmother dies and
passes on her wand to the young witch Magrat. She travels, with the
other two witches in her coven, to a far off city to complete the work
her predecessor started. The trio encounter lots of strange events on
the journey and things get even stranger once they reach the city.
Someone's been making stories out of people's lives and they must be
stopped before it's too late. This story is basically a retelling of
Cinderella done Discworld style with a bunch of other fairy tales thrown
in for good measure. There's lots of laughs on this adventure, and as
always the footnotes are very amusing. I'd definitely recommend this
book to fans of Discworld, British humor, and fairy tales.
