Lords und Ladies

"The fairies are back - but this time they don't just want your teeth... Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven are up against real elves. It's Midsummer's Night. No time for dreaming... With full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers and one orang-utan.And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.

Lords and Ladies

I am very quickly falling in love with Terry Pratchett's sense of humor and writing. There were many times reading this book where I found myself snorting, giggling, or burst out laughing. I love that he takes familiar stories from folklore and fairytales and makes them just a little bit more modern and somehow even more nonsensical. 

I am so curious to keep reading more from the Discworld, and trying out some of the other stories not from the Witches plot, even though I adore Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat

It's a dreamy midsummer's night in the Kingdom of Lancre. But music and romance aren't the only things filling the air. Magic and mischief are afoot, threatening to spoil the royal wedding of King Verence and his favorite witch, Magrat Garlick. Invaded by some Fairie Trash, soon it won't be only champagne that's flowing through the streets . . .

I just never got hooked. 

And there were some fantastic lines. I laughed for a full minute about a remark about a carrot and oyster pie. Like, full on, couldn't believe I read that, laugh. 

But it was just a shade too silly. Too many different storylines for me. I think I would have had an easier time if a certain romance didn't get an entire side story, or if some of the complaining in the beginning was cut, or the aftermath of the climax was cut. It just seemed too long.

Still a great book, love the Witch saga, and I'm curious to see how the next book handles this.

The fairies are back âe" but this time they donâe(tm)t just want your teethâe¦ It's Midsummer Night - no time for dreaming. Because sometimes, when there's more than one reality at play, too much dreaming can make the walls between them 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. Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven are up against real elves. And even in a world of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers and the odd orang-utan, this is going to cause real trouble. With lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.

It's Midsummer Night – no time for dreaming. Because sometimes, when there's more than one reality at play, too much dreaming can make the walls between them 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. Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven of witches are up against real elves. And they're spectacularly nasty creatures. Even in a world of dwarves, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers – and the odd orang-utan – this is going to cause trouble... Adapted by Terry Pratchett's long-time collaborator Stephen Briggs, this play text version of Pratchett's bestselling Discworld novel Lords and Ladies wittily and faithfully reimagines the story for the stage.
