Terry Pratchett's Discworld - Wyrd Sisters
The Discworld, that is, as created by Terry Pratchett in his riotous series  of sci-fi/fantasy books. Discworld is populated by a cast of characters straight out of  folklore and mythology, only a whole lot funnier. Take the Wyrd Sisters, for instance  (they don't like that handle one bit, by the way), whose story is brought to life in this  animated series. A motley trio of hardworking witches, they get mixed up in a royal mess  when a murdered king's baby son is entrusted to their care. Though they hate meddling,  the witches must wrest the kingdom from the loopy duke and his she-devil wife. "The  funniest parodist working in the field today, period" - The New York Review of  Science Fiction "Simply the best humorous writer of the twentieth century." - Oxford  Times
