Synopsis
Ever wonder what those magic circles of stones in the English countryside are for? They're to keep the elves out. Elves are nasty (besides being brutish and short). They're vicious. They love cruelty. Plus, to make things worse, elves have got It. Glamour. Style. Humans find elves absolutely irresistible. They actually think elves are cute! So when an infestation of Faerie Trash invades the Kingdom of Lancre, upsetting the Royal Wedding Plans (not to mention the Annual Morris Dance), the ordinary people of Lancre are helpless. It's up to the witches, led by Granny Weatherwax, to deal with the vicious little bastards. Which is all right with Granny. She thinks elves are cute, too. And that makes them even more fun to kill.

About the Author
TERRY PRATCHETT is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
From the Compact Disc edition.
From AudioFile
There's no place quite like Discworld. Plans proceed for a royal wedding--the young witch Magrat is about to be married to the young king. But she's having second thoughts, not so much about her husband-to-be, but about what it may mean to be queen. Meanwhile, the elves have returned with mayhem in their wake. Nigel Planer, who has narrated earlier works in this series, has a light and playful style that suits Pratchett's world. The main rule appears to be not taking anything too seriously, and Planer has no trouble with that. His underlying tone of mischief and fun carries the story forward.
