Ladies & Lords by Terry Pratchett follows the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick back to Lancre after Witches Abroad.

Ladies & Lords by Terry Pratchett follows the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick back to Lancre after Witches Abroad. An external plot summary in the original notes describes elves crossing into the kingdom as Magrat prepares to marry King Verence II; it also points to echoes of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and folk songs about elves.

The accompanying note attributes to Pratchett the view that this Discworld story cannot stand on its own and requires reading Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad, which establish the witches and their relationships.
