In The Home\u00adward Bounders<\/em> (1981), beings known only as \u201cThey\u201d play a vast game with a whole range of worlds. A Tale of Time City<\/em> (1987) describes a city \u201cthat exists outside time and history\u201d from which residents can influence events on Earth. For her Chrestomanci books \u2014 Charmed Life <\/em>(1977), a Guardian Award winner; The Magicians of Caprona<\/em> (1980); Witch Week<\/em> (1982); and The Lives of Christopher Chant<\/em> (1988) \u2014 Jones envi\u00adsioned a universe of parallel worlds.

While humor is prevalent, true disaster of\u00adten threatens. In Archer's Goon<\/em> (1984), young Howard realizes that he is actually a wizard, just in time to prevent his siblings from attempting to conquer the world. Aunt Maria<\/em> (1991) takes place in the village of Cranbury, where tradi\u00adtional divisions between men and women, car\u00adried to extremes, have resulted in a serious im\u00adbalance of magical powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Jones\u2019s characters must not only recognize their gifts but also learn to con\u00adtrol them. The Wizard Howl in Howl's Moving Castle<\/em> (1986) almost comes to grief because he has over-exploited his talents by trading his own heart in a magical bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While humor is prevalent, true disaster of\u00adten threatens. In Archer's Goon<\/em> (1984), young Howard realizes that he is actually a wizard, just in time to prevent his siblings from attempting to conquer the world. Aunt Maria<\/em> (1991) takes place in the village of Cranbury, where tradi\u00adtional divisions between men and women, car\u00adried to extremes, have resulted in a serious im\u00adbalance of magical powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Jones\u2019s characters must not only recognize their gifts but also learn to con\u00adtrol them. The Wizard Howl in Howl's Moving Castle<\/em> (1986) almost comes to grief because he has over-exploited his talents by trading his own heart in a magical bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her Dalemark novels \u2014 Cart and Cwidder<\/em> (1975), Drowned Ammet<\/em> (1977), and The Spellcoats <\/em>(1979) \u201cJones explored the connections be\u00adtween magic, folklore, and real life for the citi\u00adzens of Dalemark, a land she invented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                                                                                      She has frequently invoked a broader version of reality, one that extends beyond the bound\u00adaries humans normally perceive. In The Home\u00adward Bounders<\/em> (1981), beings known only as \u201cThey\u201d play a vast game with a whole range of worlds. A Tale of Time City<\/em> (1987) describes a city \u201cthat exists outside time and history\u201d from which residents can influence events on Earth. For her Chrestomanci books \u2014 Charmed Life <\/em>(1977), a Guardian Award winner; The Magicians of Caprona<\/em> (1980); Witch Week<\/em> (1982); and The Lives of Christopher Chant<\/em> (1988) \u2014 Jones envi\u00adsioned a universe of parallel worlds. From one of them, the Chrestomanci, a magician with nine lives strives to regulate the use of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While humor is prevalent, true disaster of\u00adten threatens. In Archer's Goon<\/em> (1984), young Howard realizes that he is actually a wizard, just in time to prevent his siblings from attempting to conquer the world. Aunt Maria<\/em> (1991) takes place in the village of Cranbury, where tradi\u00adtional divisions between men and women, car\u00adried to extremes, have resulted in a serious im\u00adbalance of magical powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Jones\u2019s characters must not only recognize their gifts but also learn to con\u00adtrol them. The Wizard Howl in Howl's Moving Castle<\/em> (1986) almost comes to grief because he has over-exploited his talents by trading his own heart in a magical bargain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following those twists may occasionally present a challenge, but readers who choose to share her vision will have an uncommon imagi\u00adnative experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
