What this book is about

Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat are sent abroad to prevent a fairy godmother from forcing Cinderella to marry the prince—whether she wants to or not. Terry Pratchett's twelfth Discworld novel is a meditation on the power of stories, the difference between good and evil magic, and what happens when powerful women encounter corrupt fairy tales.
