Four of Diana Wynne Jones's classic fantasy novels about an enchanter with nine lives titled Chrestomanci are now available in beautiful omnibus volumes that each contain two books each. Volume One includes The Lives of Christopher Chant and Charmed Life, while Volume Two contains The Magicians of Caprona and Witch Week.In this multiple parallel universes of the Twelve Related Worlds, only an enchanter with nine lives is powerful enough to control the rampant misuse of magic--and to hold the title Chrestomanci... The Chants are a family strong in magic, but neither Christopher Chant nor Cat Chant can work even the simplest of spells. Who could have dreamed that both Christopher and Cat were born with nine lives--or that they could lose them so quickly?
