Pratchett often called on satire to fuel the roots of his stories, so if you're into Shakespeare, this is definitely one to pick up. Here we meet the early coven: Esme "Granny" Weatherwax, Gytha "Nanny" Ogg, and Magrat Garlick. on their first escapade together (or, mostly together and hardly ever totally at odds with each other, really). At stake is the future of a kingdom under the rule of a mad despot and his white hot iron wife, the destiny of a young man born to royalty but given to the stage for safekeeping, and three witches who are determined to hold it all together by very pointedly not interfering in the theatrical nightmare that unfolds.
I love this story because it shows us the beginnings of the friendship between Esme and Gytha, which over the course of the next several books develops past a simple professional rivalry into one of the most insightfully-written, entertaining, and well-developed friendships I've read in any fictional work. This is a friendship that shakes the Disc in many ways over the course of the next several novels about their adventures, and to see the original conception of that friendship is ridiculously special.
