This and Carpe Jugulum are probably my top two favourite Discworld Witches books purely on the strength of Granny Weatherwas alone. She's such a badass, and this book includes some of her most iconic moments - facing off against the fae queen, hiding her mind in a hive of bees, hanging about with a unicorn, reminiscing with Ridcully about paralell worlds...
