Glorious new rejacket of a Diana Wynne Jones favourite, featuring Chrestomanci -- now a book with extra bits! The Dukedom of Caprona is a place where music is enchantment and spells are as slippery as spaghetti. The magical business is run by two families - the Montanas and the Petrocchis - and they are deadly rivals. So when all the spells start going wrong, they naturally blame each other.

I can't say I'm overcome with emotion - as personal as some of her work is to me, its not like I knew her after all - but I wish I could put into words how I fe...
This novel was a pleasure to read through and through. I especially loved the lilting tone, as well as the laugh-out-loud dialogue she peppers throughout the story. There’s a lot of tension and excitement, and DWJ never hesitates and playing out genuinely distressing–even downright scary–events in t...
This installment in the fantastic Chrestomanci series does not disappoint! Like the first two books (Charmed Life and The lives of Christopher Chant) this story is set in world Twelve A (a world parallel to our own where magic is commonplace). However, in this installment we’re whisked away from E...
