It's the other way around.' </em><br /><br />Three witches - <strong>Granny Weatherwax</strong>, <strong>Nanny Ogg </strong>and <strong>Magrat Garlick </strong>- have gathered on a lonely heath. A king has been cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. An infant heir and the crown of the kingdom, both missing . . . <br /><br />Witches don't have these kind of dynastic problems themselves &ndash; in fact, they don't have leaders. <br /><br />Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders the witches don't have. But even <em>she</em> found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe . . . <br /><strong><em>___________________</em></strong><br /><br /><em>The Discworld novels can be read in any order but <strong>Wyrd Sisters </strong>is the second book in the Witches series.</em></p>
