Dapper, debonair, and wise, the great enchanter Chrestomanci has nine lives and a strong personality as well as strong magic. That personality reverberates in each of these four dazzling stories.

A warlock tries to escape Chrestomanci's justice by fleeing to another world-with hilarious results. Cat Chant and Tonino Montana reluctantly join forces when Chrestomanci sends them on a visit that turns suddenly dangerous. The youngest best-selling dreamer needs Chrestomanci's help when she finds she can't dream anymore. And as the gods of an ever-so-orderly world try to destroy the young Sage of Dissolution, Chrestomanci lends a hand.

Like Chrestomanci himself, acclaimed author Diana Wynne Jones has a graceful flair, which sparkles in the remarkable wit, imagination, and intelligence of these fast-paced tales.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Diana Wynne Jones

Diana Wynne Jones nasceu em Londres, em 1934, e viveu uma infância caótica e agitada devido à Segunda Guerra Mundial. A família mudou-se várias vezes, acabando por se instalar na zona rural de Essex. Quando eram crianças, Diana e as suas duas irmãs foram privadas de um bom e constante fornecimento de livros por um pai «que podia vencer Scrooge num concurso de maldade». Assim, munida de uma imaginação fértil e da vontade insaciável de ter bons livros para ler, decidiu que seria ela própria a escrevê-los.
Muitos dos seus romances foram premiados e, em 2007, recebeu o prestigiado galardão World Fantasy Award – Life Achievement. Os seus livros inspiraram muitos escritores, incluindo Terry Pratchett, J.K. Rowling e Philip Pullman.
