Wyrd Sisters is Terry Pratchett's sixth
Discworld novel, published in 1988, and
re-introduces Granny Weatherwax of Equal Rites.
Warning: Plot details
follow.
With a storyline not unlike Macbeth, Wyrd Sisters features three witches: Granny Weatherwax; Nanny Ogg, monarch of a large tribe of Oggs, who owns the most evil cat in the world, (Greebo); and Magrat Garlick, the junior witch, who
firmly believes in occult jewelry, even though none of it works.
The King of Lancre is murdered by his cousin, the Duke, and the king's son is thrust into the care of the three witches.
From there the hilarity only increases, and the witches fight to restore the true King to the throne, even though the true
King would much rather act.
There have been both an animated version for Channel 4 and a 4-part BBC Radio 4 dramatisation.
