Product Description

A complete and unabridged recording of the "Mixed Magics" story collection, on four cassettes. The four stories feature the marvellous, enigmatic and embroidered-dressing-gowned enchanter, Chrestomanci! The tale "Warlock at the Wheel" tells of what happens when the Willing Warlock (from "Charmed Life") is exiled to a world without magic and meets a formidable opponent - a little girl and her dog! "Stealer of Souls" has Cat (from "Charmed Life") and Tonino (from "The Magicians of Caprona") pitted against an evil enchanter with a dastardly plan. In "Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream", Carol, whose lucrative dreaming career is brought to an abrupt halt by a severe case of dreamer's-block, is sent to Chrestomanci in search of a cure. He takes on the case as a personal favour to her dad, whom he went to school with (in "The Lives of Christopher Chant") and in the final tale, "The Sage of Theare" the Sage of Dissolution wreaks havoc, thereby threatening the existance of all the worlds that have ever been!

About the Author
DIANA WYNNE JONES was born in August 1934 in London, where she had a chaotic and unsettled childhood against the background of World War II. The family moved around a lot, finally settling in rural Essex. As children, Diana and her two sisters were deprived of a good, steady supply of books by a father, 'who could beat Scrooge in a meanness contest'. So, armed with a vivid imagination and an insatiable quest for good books to read, she decided that she would have to write them herself.
