About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of Hogfather is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag, Vanity Fair, Quiz). 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. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

Twas the night before Hogswatch and all through the house...something was missing.

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. Or else they might stop believing. Belief is important in Discworld, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning. If the real man in the red suit isn't found by morning, there won't be a morning. Ever again...

A festive feast of darkness, jolly robins and tinsel. As they say: 'You'd better watch out...'

Hogfather is the fourth book in the Death series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Superlative

My annual Christmas listen has been marvellously improved in this new recording. Sian Clifford is wonderful. Bill Nighy as Terry Pratchett is a wonderful addition. And Peter Serafinowicz makes a stupendous DEATH. I cannot wait for the rest of the new recordings to come. I'm beyond thrilled.

An old favourite, beautifully retold!

Hogfather is one of my favourite Pratchett novels, so I was very excited to hear this new Audiobook edition. Sian Clifford does the narration and characters with an engaging style (Quoth has never sounded so good!), Bill Nighy’s footnotes are a masterpiece of understatement, and I was frankly astonished that Peter Serafinowicz as Death was on par with the incredible Stefan Rudnicki (go listen to “Thief of Time”, you’ll understand).
And now it’s the first day of the year, and the sun has risen. Thank you.

First time Discworlder

How it took me over 36 years to finally dive into Pratchett's Discworld series is beyond me!?

Absolutely loved every minute of this tale and can't wait to make it a yearly holiday listen for me and my family on those cold December nights

it's okay, there better stories out there to buy

good start, but it lost me near the end. I usually like Terry Pratchett, but not this one.
