Lords and Ladies is the fourteenth Discworld novel, the fourth focussing on the Witches, and the third (and, in some ways, final) to feature the original Lancre coven of Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. It introduces Agnes Nitt, aka Perdita, who becomes an important character in the subsequent witches novels, and also the Queen of the Elves, though whether this is the same Queen who appears in some later books is a matter of debate in fan circles.
Blurb
It's a hot Midsummer Night. The crop circles are turning up everywhere – even on the mustard-and-cress of Pewsey Ogg, aged four. And Magrat Garlick, witch, is going to be married in the morning...
Everything ought to be going like a dream. But the Lancre All-Comers Morris Team have got drunk on a fairy mound and the elves have come back, bringing all those things traditionally associated with the magical, glittering realm of Faerie: cruelty, kidnapping, malice and evil, evil murder.[1] Granny Weatherwax and her tiny argumentative coven have really got their work cut out this time...
With full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris Dancers and one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.
