Lords and Ladies - Discworld book n. 14

This is a witches' book. and as you can read on the cover, Granny Weatherwas is against the Elves! Mind u, these are nothing like Tolkien's elves, nothing like that. These are dangerous, and must be stopped at all costs!
So we meet Granny, Nanny and Magrat right after they return from their adventure abroad (which you should have already read in Witches Abroad), and they find out that a few girls have been playing witches and that they have been disturbing a place best left alone; among them there's Agnes Nitt/Perdita, but the troublemaker is Lucy/Diamanda, who thinks she's a better witch than Granny !!!
I love every Terry Pratchett's Discworld book, but I really think they should be read in order, because not only things are better understandable that way, but also because Terry Pratchett is incredible in another thing. Not only he wrote many books never disappointing, but his writings gets better and better with each book.
The Discworld is a fantastic series, and the book with the witches are so great.
In this book, we see the men of Lancre improvising themself as actors and also dancing the Morris dance, we see a young Weatherwax, we have witches and wizards together, we see Magrat preparing herself for her marriage with the king, we see the people of Lancre reacting to Nanny having a bath :lol:
I really like Magrat, and I can understand her feeling hurt at Granny's treating her like a child, but in a way I can't understand how she became to be a witch, since self-confidence is so important in witches and she has so little of it. I think I should read again the first witches' books, to see if it says anything about it there, I don't remember it but maybe I've forgotten, who knows..

Ponder is still the least senior member of the staff of Unseen University (he's the Reader in invisible writings), and we meet Hodgesaaargh for the first time.
A few lines from this book: when the witches arrive:
_ They're back
_And everything's all right again
_For about five minutes.

_You stupid man - said Granny
_I do happen to be king, you know - said Verence reproachfully
_You stupid king, your majesty
_Thank you.

:-D

I also loved very much how Pratchett describes the beginning of the world:
_In the beginning, there was nothing, which exploded.
:lol: yep that's what happened :lol:
