About the book
Brought to you by Penguin. The audiobook of The Colour of Magic is read by Colin Morgan ( Merlin ; Testament of Youth ; Belfast ), 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. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan. In the beginning there was...a turtle. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld , a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it's carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown).
