Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of Hogfather is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag, Vanity Fair, Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

Twas the night before Hogswatch and all through the house...something was missing.

The stockings are hanging ready, the sherry and pies are waiting by the fireplace - but where is the jolly fat man with his sack? It's not right to find Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say 'Ho ho ho' - but someone's got to bring the little kiddies their presents. Or else they might stop believing. Belief is important in Discworld, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning. If the real man in the red suit isn't found by morning, there won't be a morning. Ever again...

A festive feast of darkness, jolly robins and tinsel. As they say: 'You'd better watch out...'

Hogfather is the fourth book in the Death series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Has the energy of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland...It has also an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things'

'Our best comic novelist'

I'm addicted to Terry Pratchett'

Amazing

Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors ever. I am so sorry he is gone! I re-read and listen to his books over and over - and I was beyond thrilled to see a new recording of one of his books. Death and Susan Sto Helit are a couple of my favorite (sorry, I use this word a lot when talking of Terry Pratchett!) and the voices they are given in this reading are absolutely superlative!! Sian Clifford is a wonder - she does male and female voices with skill and style . I am not sure which of the gentlemen voice Death, but he is equally perfect. The “footnotes “ voice is ALSO just wonderful. If you like Terry Pratchett, give yourself the gift of this listen!!

An absurdist, hilarious Christmas fantasy

This is my second Terry Pratchett and I was again wildly entertained. Death as Substitute Santa? Check. An assassin after Santa? A lot of people pulled into the whirlwind? Check.

My Christmas Carol

Every year I treat myself to a reread of this holiday classic.
This year I gave it a new listen through the revision of the Pratchett audio-catalogue. The new voices were a bit jarring at first, but eventually grew on me.

A very good production of a favorite Christmas book

A lovely classic to reread for Christmas. I enjoyed this production of it very much.

Great book but performance not great

One of my favorite discworld books but it is hard to listen to due to the narrator. Most of the time she is fine but the nasally voice she uses for Albert and the Dean is really bad.
