An anthology of four short stories, featuring Chrestomanci and many familiar friends and worlds from the novels.
The titles are: Warlock at the Wheel, The Sage of Theare, Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream and Stealer of Souls.
Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream has never been published in the UK before.
Stealer of Souls is a long-awaited, completely new, never previously published story.
"...Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones's most outrageous plots to her readers' hopes and fears..."
