For the Netflix Mums - The Witcher

Do you have a mum who is up-to-date with binging all the new Netflix hits? Then perhaps she wants to read the book, after watching the adaption (and Henry Cavill)! Then gift your mum Geralt (unfortunately not Henry Cavill) this Mother’s Day: A witcher, a brilliant fighter and a merciless assassin. Yet he is no ordinary murderer: his targets are the multifarious monsters and vile fiends that ravage the land and attack the innocent. He roams the country seeking assignments, but gradually comes to realise that while some of his quarry are unremittingly vile, others are the victims of sin, evil or simple naivety. A perfect gift for the Netflix Mums.
