No time for dreaming!!!. Great A Tuin, the sky turtle swims through space. On its back stand four elephants, who support the Discworld. This is a flat world where the field of magic is strong and the line between belief and fantasy is weak…. In the mountain kingdom of Lancre, three witches return home from a broomstick tour of the Disc to find the elves are back and a very real threat of breaking through and destroying the entire disc, one village at a time. Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven must do battle with the elves, who threaten to take control with their hypnotic glamour. With a full supporting cast of Wizards, young would be witches, the hilarious rude mechanicals/Morris dancers and one very randy dwarf!!
