The Audiobook

The Colour of Magic

Step into the magical, hilarious, and wonderfully absurd world of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld with The Colour of Magic, the first book in this beloved fantasy series. In this brilliant audiobook adaptation, the narration comes to life with the exceptional talents of Colin Morgan, Peter Serafinowicz, and Bill Nighy, making it an unforgettable journey across Pratchett’s fantastical universe.

Meet Rincewind, the world’s most incompetent and cowardly wizard, whose greatest magical ability is running away from danger. When Twoflower, Discworld’s first-ever tourist, arrives with an unshakable desire for adventure, Rincewind is reluctantly dragged along. Together, they embark on a chaotic journey across the Disc, encountering everything from homicidal dragons and belligerent barbarians to literal gods playing dice with their fates.

Their adventures take place on Discworld, a flat, disc-shaped planet carried through space on the backs of four giant elephants, who in turn stand on the shell of the enormous cosmic turtle, Great A’Tuin. Pratchett’s vivid imagination and razor-sharp wit make for a delightful parody of classic fantasy tropes, packed with sharp observations on life, the universe, and everything in between.

As Rincewind and Twoflower stumble from one outrageous scenario to the next, their journey becomes an epic, hilarious ride through Pratchett’s incredible world. With Colin Morgan’s energetic portrayal of the hapless Rincewind, Peter Serafinowicz’s booming comedic performance, and Bill Nighy’s masterful narration, this audiobook brings the magic and madness of Discworld to life like never before.

Whether you’re new to Discworld or a longtime fan, The Colour of Magic is an unforgettable, laughter-filled experience that will leave you eager to explore more of Terry Pratchett’s rich, satirical universe.
