Bundling the full Chrestomanci Series with the enchanting Howl's Moving Castle trilogy, this set delivers wizards, walking castles, nine-lived enchanters and shape-shifting magic in one bundle.

About the Books
The Chrestomanci Series follows the enchanter Chrestomanci and the young magic-users who cross his path across a web of parallel worlds. In Charmed Life, orphaned siblings Cat and Gwendolen move to Chrestomanci Castle, where hidden rivalries soon surface. The Magicians of Caprona whisks readers to a magical Italian dukedom where feuding spell-casting families must unite against an enemy. Witch Week unfolds in a school where somebody is secretly a witch, with terrifying consequences. The Lives of Christopher Chant reveals Chrestomanci's origin story, as a boy discovers he has nine lives and an extraordinary destiny. Mixed Magics gathers four short stories expanding the universe, while Conrad's Fate and The Pinhoe Egg continue the saga with fresh mysteries and hidden covens.
The Howl's Moving Castle trilogy begins with the Studio Ghibli-adapted classic Howl's Moving Castle, in which cursed hatmaker Sophie seeks the wizard Howl and his walking castle. Castle in the Air follows carpet merchant Abdullah on a quest involving genies and stolen magic carpets. House of Many Ways closes the trilogy as young Charmain Baker housesits a chaotically magical cottage. Together, these ten stories showcase Diana Wynne Jones's trademark wit and worldbuilding.
