LORDS AND LADIES

There’s no place quite like Discworld. Plans proceed for a royal wedding—the young witch Magrat is about to be married to the young king. But she’s having second thoughts, not so much about her husband-to-be, but about what it may mean to be queen. Meanwhile, the elves have returned with mayhem in their wake. Nigel Planer, who has narrated earlier works in this series, has a light and playful style that suits Pratchett’s world. The main rule appears to be not taking anything too seriously, and Planer has no trouble with that. His underlying tone of mischief and fun carries the story forward.
