If you know some children and would like a *different* set of witch and wizard books for them, I am here to help.

First up, The Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynn Jones

This has the added benefit of introducing all the other books Diana Wynne Jones wrote, which are also amazing.

@Tupp_ed I never could get into the Chrestomanci books, but the rest of her books put Dianna Wynne Jones solidly in my top three favorite authors. Enchanted Glass, House of Many Ways, Hexwood, A Tale of Time City, The Homeward Bounders, Archer's Goon, so many amazing books! I wish she could have given us more.

@WitchMark Homeward Bounders! What a premise! What a hero. Amazing work.

@WitchMark And A Tale of Time City contains one of the most astonishingly useful metaphors for democracy at the end that I think of still now regularly when watching the news.
