You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series.

Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.Īnd the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge.

Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course. Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination.' Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace Shaun of the Dead ) stars as the voice of Death. The audiobook of The Colour of Magic is read by Colin Morgan ( Merlin Testament of Youth Belfast ).
