The audiobook of The Colour of Magic is read by Colin Morgan (Merlin; Testament of Youth; Belfast). 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.
'It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination . . .'
Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own. Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course.
Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.
And the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge . . .
You can listen to the Discworld novels in any order, but The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series.
The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Discworld series and was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

The concept of the discworld itself is as ridiculous and imaginative as the rules and characters that live within it. The main protagonist might be the least skilled wizard of this world and a huge coward, but he's also quite relatable with his wit, critical and cynical outlook on the world and people around him. His companion is quite the opposite, naive and fearless, never hesitates to go on another adventure with survival skills that are simply non-existent. Together they may quite a pair, their contradictory attitudes and perspectives make their adventures even more enjoyable for the audience. I have to admit, their stories are anything but predictable, the only limit in this world is the author's imagination and it seems to be limitless. Lastly, I truly loved the comidic aspects of the book as well as satirical commentery, poking fun of certain concepts from the real world around us. And of course the entire experience was even more enjoyable thanks to the amazing narration by Colin Morgan, his captivating voice and devotion to the story truly allows us to immerse ourselves in this magical world.
