Early impressions of 'Wyrd Sisters' in collectable condition are hard to come by now. Guardian ***A third impression of the true first edition of the sixth book in the Discworld series, in its original colour wraparound dustwrapper, in nice condition. The witches realise that it will be at least 15 years until Tomjon is able to return and save the kingdom, but by then irreparable damage will have been done.' ***'A sequence of unalloyed delight'. However, the kingdom is angry about the way the new King is mistreating the land and his subjects. They acknowledge that destiny will eventually take its course and that the child, Tomjon, will grow up to defeat Duke Felmet and take his rightful place as king. The witches hand the child to a troupe of travelling actors, and hide the crown in the props-box. The King's crown and child are given by an escaping servant to the three witches. King Verence I of Lancre is murdered by his cousin, Duke Felmet, after his ambitious wife persuades him to do so.

Wyrd Sisters features three witches: Granny Weatherwax Nanny Ogg, matriarch of a large tribe of Oggs and owner of the most evil cat in the world and Magrat Garlick, the junior witch, who firmly believes in occult jewelry, covens, and bubbling cauldrons, much to the annoyance of the other two. It re-introduces Granny Weatherwax of Equal Rites.
