TimMason reviewed Chronicles of Chrestomanci by Diana Wynne Jones
Review of 'Chronicles of Chrestomanci' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Wynne Jones was possessed of a fine imagination, a cool eye for the failings of the English middling classes, a wicked sense of humour and a capacity to write good prose. All her books are worth reading. The Chrestomanci series is an excellent introduction to her work, featuring a magical policeman whose job it is to ensure that those who possess magical talents do not abuse them.. Chrestomanci himself is not always the central character, but usually turns up to nudge the plot in the desired direction.
