‘Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point -’Ī 12-year-old runs away from boarding school, and the school hide the fact. As if there’s some… Some rightness in the universe by which it may be judged. And yet - (Death waved a hand) - and yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world. ‘You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Hogfather is the fourth book in the Death series, a festive feast of darkness (but with jolly robots and tinsel too).‘Yes, as practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.’
If the real man in the red suit isn’t found by morning, there won’t be a morning. Belief is important in Discworld, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning.
The stockings are hanging ready, the sherry and pies are waiting by the fireplace – but where is the jolly fat man with his sack? It’s not right to find Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say ‘Ho ho ho’ – but someone’s got to bring the little kiddies their presents. Twas the night before Hogswatch and all through the house…something was missing. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
The audiobook of Hogfather is read by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford ( Fleabag, Vanity Fair, Quiz), with BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy ( Love Actually, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reading the footnotes, and with Peter Serafinowicz ( Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Shaun of the Dead) as the voice of Death.
