Una delle serie più appassionanti della SAGA DI MONDO DISCO
4 romanzi in 1 volume: L'arte della magia Sorellanza stregonesca Streghe all'estero Streghe di una notte di mezza estate
Quando il mago arrivò al villaggio di Cattivo Somaro, sapeva di avere ancora circa sei minuti di vita... La cosa, tuttavia, non lo preoccupava. Stava cercando l'ottavo figlio di un ottavo figlio, nato proprio in quel momento nella casa di un fabbro. Gli avrebbe passato il suo bastone magico, la sua arte e i suoi poteri, e tutto sarebbe stato com'era stato stabilito... Peccato, però, che il fortunato bambino in realtà è una bambina e sarà la prima maga del Mondo Disco... Inizia così una popolarissima saga fantastica, tra streghe, molti re, pugnali, corone, tempeste, nani, gatti, fantasmi, spettri, oranghi, banditi, demoni, foreste, eredi, buffoni, boia, troll, tavoli girevoli, festeggiamenti. Questo e altro ancora. E in tutto ciò, a Magrat Garlick, Nonna Weatherwax e Tata Ogg, le ultime tre streghe rimaste in circolazione nella zona, spetta il compito di saltare sulle loro scope e correre a salvare il Mondo Disco dai mille pericoli che lo minacciano...
Sir Terence David John Pratchett was an English author, humorist, and satirist, best known for the Discworld series of 41 comic fantasy novels published between 1983–2015, and for the apocalyptic comedy novel Good Omens (1990), which he co-wrote with Neil Gaiman. Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971. The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, after which Pratchett wrote an average of two books a year. The final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown, was published in August 2015, five months after his death. With more than 100 million books sold worldwide in 43 languages, Pratchett was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1998 and was knighted for services to literature in the 2009 New Year Honours. In 2001 he won the annual Carnegie Medal for The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, the first Discworld book marketed for children. He received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 2010. In December 2007 Pratchett announced that he had been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. He later made a substantial public donation to the Alzheimer's Research Trust (now Alzheimer's Research UK, ARUK), filmed three television programmes chronicling his experiences with the condition for the BBC, and became a patron of ARUK. Pratchett died on 12 March 2015, at the age of 66.
