Diana Wynne Jones

13 Series

Diana Wynne Jones (1934-2011) was a British fantasy author known for the Chrestomanci and Dalemark Quartet series. She began writing in the 1960s and received numerous awards, including the Guardian Prize, Mythopoeic Award, and the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. Jones was affectionately known as the "Queen of the Fantastic."

Diana Wynne Jones's "Wilkins' Tooth," also known as "Witch's Business," follows the adventures of Frank and Jess as they confront a scheming witch. In "Aunt Maria," alternatively titled "Black Maria," two cousins uncover the dark secrets of their domineering aunt. "The Islands of Chaldea," co-authored with Ursula Jones, chronicles Aileen's quest to break a curse and unite her kingdom. Each novel showcases Jones's signature blend of magic, humor, and intricate world-building. These stories captivate readers with their compelling narratives and richly drawn characters.
