Which Wyrd Sisters recording should you buy?
The book most people are pointed to for the Witches — which makes it a bad one to buy abridged by accident, and both versions sit under the same title.

Short answer
Indira Varma. It is the usual recommended start for the Witches, hers is the complete book, and she reads the rest of the Witches novels in the current set. The Tony Robinson listing is abridged.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indira Varma, with Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz Our pick | 9 hrs 53 mins | Unabridged | The current recording, complete. Audible's description says Bill Nighy reads the footnotes and Peter Serafinowicz is the voice of Death. |
| Tony Robinson | 2 hrs 48 mins | Abridged | Marked abridged in Audible's listing data; the description does not say so either way. |
The recording we recommend is also on Audiobooks.com — the same Indira Varma reading, listed at 9 hrs 53 mins when we checked on 21 October 2026. Their one-credit plan is listed at £7.99 a month before applicable taxes, and its credits expire after three months — the two models compared. We earn a commission on that link.
