Notes:

Witches Abroad is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett, originally published in 1991. It is in the witches series.

It features the three witches introduced in Wyrd Sisters (Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick) visit Genua, on the other side of the continent, where they confront Granny's sister, Lily Weatherwax, who is manipulating people using the power of stories. The plot contains references to many fairy tales and fantasy novels, including Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and The Frog Prince. During the story the three witches travelling in the deepest caves under the mountains make a short encouter with some odd creature which claims to have anniversary (see Gollum) and Nanny Ogg has a house fall on her later on (a reference to the Wizard of Oz).
