Sourcery is a book of magic and more magic and it tells a tale
about a small boy by the name of Coin and he is the eighth son of
an eighth son.

The novel yet again features the only all too cowardly Rincewind
and the ever resourceful Luggage.

It all starts when Coin storms into the Dining Hall in the Unseen
University and after many a challenge and the respect of the
Wizards demanded to be made Archchancellor with the hat and all.
Unfortunately someone has stolen the hat. And that person is
Conina.

Rincewind whilst enjoying a quiet drink is encountered by Conina
and soon after that a nasty fight takes place as guards after her
fail to capture her. Dragging Rincewind with her she runs and
creeps with the death-dealing hat to the docks where assuming a
wizard onboard to be a good sign he gives them free passage.
During a pirate attack Rincewind doesn't quiet achieve anything
and Conina armed with a ferocious comb fights them off, but they
take the hat.

In a sought of quest for the hat they get captured. Shock!
Horror!

In Ankh-Morpork a few differences may be noticed. The wizards for
one feel a bit over the world and as the for the Unseen Uni who
knows?

Who is this young hero with woollen pants?  What will be the
effect of the Magical Wars about to take place?  And what heroic
destiny is Rincewind due for?

One of my favourites.

Wyrd Sisters is the first novel to star all three witches, Magrat,
Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax.

The King Verence has been killed and in the dead of night his son
delivered to the three witches, by a man who dies soon after by
the Duke's (the heir ish) finest guards. Now faced with the

problem of what to do with a crown and a baby they decided to take
them to the travelling theatre. And deal with them like that.

King Verence may-he-rest-in-peace is haunting the castle and isn't
enjoying it one bit, then again who would?

The Duke tries to ruin and create rumours about the three witches.
And sends his jester to Ankh-Morpork to hire some actors. And
these actors just so happen to include TomJohn (Verence's son).
How is it that he is so old now?

The witches visit the play and realise that it is criticising
them.

Included:-
One Traditional Incantation
Three Witches
A demon from the darkest pit
A tyrannical Duke
