A fireside blend of playful, clockwork-like fantasy, wintry mystery and intimate, humane warmth follows the story from Ankh-Morpork's unsettling Hogswatch night toward its defense of wonder. The opening cue evokes the television adaptation, while the remaining instrumental selections suggest Susan's resolve, Death's strange tenderness, Teatime's menace and the fragile magic of belief.
