Join me on a read through of Discworld! Today we're looking at the twelfth book, Witches Abroad, one of the Witches novels.

A fairy godmother has just passed away and left her magic wand in the care of Magrat, the youngest of our coven. So Granny, Nanny, and Magrat have to travel across the Disc to find this wand and finish the fairy godmother's great task.
