D.W. Jones / Paperback / 2000
Welcome to the worlds of Chrestomanci where magic is as common as mathematics --- and twice as troublesome in the wrong hands!
Everybody says the Gwendolyn 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 ...

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 rumors of a White Devil who threatens the Angel of Caprona be true after all?

D.W. Jones / Paperback / 2000
The worlds of Chrestomanci have limitless possibilities. Here is a world where witchcraft is utterly forbidden, yet where magic still seems to break out like measles --- all over the place!
When a note, written in ordinary blue ballpoint, appears between two of the homework books Mr. Crossley is marking, he is very upset. It says: SOMEONE IN THIS CLASS IS A WITCH"
Anyone could have written it, but the most awful thing is, the note might be true for Larwood House is a school for witch-orphans! And the last thing Mr. Crossley needs is a visit from the Divisional Inquisitor ...
Only Chrestomanci can sort out the trouble that lies ahead!

D.W. Jones / Paperback / 2000
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 ...

D.W. Jones / Paperback / 2000
In the worlds of Chrestomanci, being able to use magic is a distinct advantage.
But ordinary people have rights too, and only the strength and special skills of a nine-lifed enchanter can possibly begin to control the exploits of the numerous witches and warlocks, sorcerers and necromancers out to make mischief.
The four stories in Mixed Magics all feature the enigmatic Chrestomanci --- taller and more handsome than ever. With him are many old friends, as well as a number of new acquaintances --- and a particularly devious enemy with an outrageously despicable plot!
