Charmed
Life : Chrestomanci volume 1
Diana Wynne Jones Collins, 2000 (first published in 1977) Paperback. 252pp. illustrated by Tim Stevens £4.99 to order 
Welcome to the Worlds of Chrestomanci, where magic is as common as mathematics - and twice as troublesome in the wrong hands! Everybody says that Gwendolen Chant is a gifted witch with astonishing powers, so it suits her enormously when she is taken to live in Chrestomanci Castle. Her brother Eric (better known as Cat) is not so keen, for he has no talent for magic at all. However, life with the great enchanter and his family is not what either of them expects and sparks soon begin to fly…The Magicians of Caprona : Chrestomanci volume 2 Diana Wynne Jones Collins, 2000 (first published in 1980) Paperback. 256pp. illustrated by Tim Stevens £4.99 to order 
In the worlds of Chrestomanci
anything can happen. This adventure takes place in the Italian Dukedom
of Caprona, where music is enchantment and spells are as slippery as spaghetti!
Casa Montana and Casa Petrocchi control all the magical business in Caprona,
watched over by its magnificent guardian statue, the Angel. But the families
have been feuding for years, so when all the spells start going wrong,
they naturally blame each other. Things get even worse when young Tonino
Montana and Angelica Petrocchi suddenly disappear. Can the terrible rumours
of a White Devil who threatens the Angel of Caprona be true after all?
The Lives of Christopher Chant : Chrestomanci volume 3 Diana Wynne Jones Oxford University Press, 2000 (first published in 1988) Paperback. 319pp. illustrated by Tim Stevens £4.99 to order 
Everything in this book happens at least twenty-five years before the story told in Charmed Life…. Discovering that he has nine lives and is destined to be the next 'Chrestomanci' is not part of Christopher's plans for the future: he'd much rather play cricket and wander around his secret dream worlds. But he soon finds that destiny is difficult to avoid, and that having more than the usual number of lives is pretty inconvenient - especially when you lose them as easily as he does. Then an evil smuggler, known only as The Wraith, threatens the ways of the worlds and forces Christopher to take action….Witch Week : Chrestomanci volume 4 Diana Wynne Jones Oxford University Press, 2000 (first published in 1990) Paperback. 272pp. illustrated by Tim Stevens £4.99 to order  Between
two of the books Mr Crossley was marking was a note - "Someone in this
class is a witch". The note might be true - for this was a school for
witch-orphans. The last thing Miss Cadwallader, the Headteacher, would
want was visit from the Divisional Inquisitor. |
