The audiobook of Equal Rites is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). 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.

'They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.'

Everybody knows there's no such thing as a female wizard. So when the wizard Drum Billet accidentally passes on his staff of power to an eighth daughter of an eighth son, a girl called Eskarina (Esk, for short), the misogynistic world of wizardry wants nothing to do with her.

Thankfully Granny Weatherwax, the Discworld's most famous witch, has plenty of experience ignoring the status quo. With Granny's help, Esk sneaks her way into the magical Unseen University and befriends apprentice wizard Simon.

But power is unpredictable, and these bright young students soon find themselves in a whole new dimension of trouble. Let the battle of the sexes begin...

'If you've never read a Discworld novel, what's the matter with you?' Guardian

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own' The Times

Equal Rites is the first book in the Witches 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

If you are unfamiliar with Pratchett's unique blend of philosophical badinage, you are on the threshold of a mind-expanding opportunity

Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd

Pratchett keeps getting better and better...It's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him

Good narration

I’m a huge fan of Terry Pratchett and like to listen to his books over and over. I’m so glad to hear another version of this book. This narrator did a much better job with the male voices. Too many female narrators overdo it and sound clownish. She also didn’t make the eating noises that the last narrator did. Thank you for that!

Wonderful

Great story in Discworld. Always a wonderful adventure to catch up with the witches! And we get to see the interaction of witches and wizards

Huge improvement in narration!

So much better than the Celia Imrie narrated one. Not my favorite Discworld story, but still a lot of really interesting parts and poignant, funny observations as always with STP.

Indra Varma does such a superb job, I look forward to repeat listens finally!

Wonderful start

This was my first book into the Disc World and it was a great start. Indira’s narration was superb and completely immersed me into the story. On to Wyrd Sisters with the same narrator.

Great narrator

Love this narrator and like this story. It’s adolescent and mature at the same time.
