Published: 1987
 
Plot Summery: Knowing that he is shortly to die, the Wizard Drum Billet travels the disc to find the 8th son of the 8th son who is about to be born to pass on his magical skills. Only, this is the Disc, so nothing goes quite to plan and the Disc suddenly gains its first ever female wizard. General bizarreness occurs and it's the first appearance of Granny Weatherwax in any of the books.
 
Adaptations: None known
 
Favourite Quotes:
"She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you."
 
"There would be a price... But if you were worried about the price, then why were you in the shop?"
 
"She told me that if magic gives people what they want, then not using magic can give them what they need."
 
Reading Time: Started Saturday 28th 2015 - Finished Tuesday 31st March 2015
