The Light Fantastic

In The Light Fantastic, the second installment of Terry Pratchett’s much-loved Discworld series, the misadventures of the hapless wizard Rincewind continue — and this time, the fate of the Discworld itself hangs in the balance!

When the Great A’Tuin, the giant space turtle carrying the Discworld, starts moving toward a catastrophic collision with a red star, the end of the world seems inevitable. Yet, there’s hope in the most unlikely of places: Rincewind, an inept wizard who only knows one spell (and doesn’t know what it does), and Twoflower, the world’s first tourist. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to save the Discworld, encountering trolls, druids, barbarians, and the sinister wizards of Unseen University who will stop at nothing to possess the ultimate spell.

Brilliantly narrated by Colin Morgan, Peter Serafinowicz, and Bill Nighy, The Light Fantastic brings Terry Pratchett’s rich, satirical world to life with humor and heart. Morgan’s spirited portrayal of Rincewind captures his wry desperation, while Serafinowicz gives Twoflower his delightful, wide-eyed optimism. Bill Nighy’s charming narration ties it all together with the classic wit and sharpness that defines Pratchett’s storytelling.

As the red star looms larger, our unlikely heroes must navigate a world full of magic and madness, where nothing is quite as it seems. With Pratchett’s signature blend of wit, adventure, and satire, The Light Fantastic is an unforgettable tale that explores the absurdities of life, the perils of heroism, and the magic of friendship.

Join Rincewind and Twoflower on a wild, whimsical ride across the Discworld in this magical audiobook that will leave you laughing, thinking, and eager for more!
