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'

Great!

Great book narrated beautifully. Love Discworld and this is a great listen during the Christmas season!

Ho Ho Ho

One of the performances I may have ever heard on Audible. If you like Pratchett books and haven’t heard or read this one it does not disappoint.

Mixed thoughts on the new narrators

Overall the new narrators are pretty good. My biggest complaint is the jingle they play before and after each footnote. I hope they do away with that. My second biggest complaint is we didn't have Stephen Briggs narrating Mustrum Ridcully. Sian Clifford did a decent job but Briggs really brought him to life.

Love the fact that they kept DEATH's voice.

There's nothing to dislike about Sir Terry Pratchett. One of my favorite Christmas stories, despite the fact that it's not about Christmas.
