Lords and Ladies

Discworld, Book 14

By: Terry Pratchett

Narrated by: Tony Robinson

"When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you're believing in Gods. And then you're in trouble."

Reality is all very well in small doses. It's a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there's more than one reality at play, imagination just won't be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there's usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order.

Critic reviews

"His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction." ( Mail on Sunday)

Tony Robinson Ruins Nanny Ogg

What didn’t you like about Tony Robinson’s performance?

Tony Robinson completely ruined Nanny Ogg - he lost all nuance of her character in his weird one-dimensional performance of her. He turned her into a muffled simpleton when she is perhaps one of the most interesting and intelligent characters on the Disc. Look for another copy read by someone else.
