Publisher Description

On a hot midsummer night in Discworld, everything seems perfect - crop circles are turning up everywhere, the witch Magrat Garlick is getting married the next morning, and everyone's buzzing with excitement. Unfortunately, the Lancre All-Comers Morris Team has gotten drunk on a fairy mound, and the elves have returned with the traditional traits of the magical realm of Fairie: evil, malice, murder, cruelty, and kidnapping. Suddenly, Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven of belligerent witches are faced with their biggest challenge as they try to pull off Magrat's wedding.

"There's a Royal wedding in the tiny mountain Kingdom of Lancre. Magrat the Witch is marrying King Verence. The Witches of Lancre meet up with the Wizards of Ankh-Morpork to defeat an invasion of the Elves. With lots of help from Morris Dancers, and even Shawn Ogg, who is the whole of Lancre's standing army, they take on the worst threat to the Disc since, well... probably the last book."

    " This book is much darker than most of his novels. I remember liking it, but feeling kind of uneasy the whole time I read it. "

    " 'bout time Magrat gets married. and Elves as the badguys and witches as the good guys, well, that is an interesting perspective. "

    " Anything with the Witches in it is bound to be good, and this is no exception (especially when A Midsummer Night's Dream is woven in). Be warned, though, the puns get increasingly painful toward the end! Do not read anyplace where you cannot groan out loud and curse Pratchett's genius. "

    " so, now and again I go back and read various of the Pratchett novels again, and put up the evidence of said re-reading here, just for form's sake you understand. "

    " so far it's great! Weatherwax isn't my favorite Pratchett character, but with Nanny Ogg, it's turning out to be a lot of fun. Of course all of his books are, but that's not the point! "

    " This was an average Pratchett book. Not his worst but not as good as some of his better ones. I have read a lot of the ones that are about the three witches and most of them have been better than this one. Fortunately these are some of his best characters so even an average book can be good enough. "

    " I loved it, I really like the satrical way in which Prachett makes fun of modern ideas. In this book he uses aspects from Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream but in a surprising and much more fun way. "

    " The fourth of the Discworld witches novels. I liked several bits of this one. The glimpses into the past of the oldest witch Esme Weatherwax. Casanunda, the world's second greatest lover. The awkward relationship between the king and the queen-to-be. The general mythic (or 'myffic') background. "
