Diana Wynne Jones

Diana Wynne Jones (16 August 1934 – 26 March 2011) was a British author who wrote the book Howl's Moving Castle. It was later turned into a film.

Early life and marriage
Diana was born in London, the daughter of Marjorie (née Jackson) and Richard Aneurin Jones, both of whom were teachers.When war was announced, shortly after her fifth birthday, she was evacuated to Wales, and thereafter moved several times, including periods in Coniston Water, in York, and back in London. In 1943, her family finally settled in Thaxted, Essex, where her parents worked running an educational conference centre.There, Jones and her two younger sisters Isobel (later Professor Isobel Armstrong, the literary critic) and Ursula (later an actress and a children's writer) spent a childhood left chiefly to their own devices. After attending the Friends School Saffron Walden, she studied English at St Anne's College in Oxford, where she attended lectures by both C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien before graduating in 1956. In the same year she married John Burrow, a scholar of medieval literature, with whom she had three sons, Richard, Michael and Colin. After a brief period in London, in 1957 the couple returned to Oxford, where they stayed until moving to Bristol in 1976.

According to her autobiography, Jones decided she was an atheist when she was a child.

This list follows the Internet Speculative Fiction Database in grouping many works in five fiction series. Some other classifications differ from ISFDB. There is some overlap in listings.

Chrestomanci series
The  Chrestomanci  fantasy series comprises six novels and four short stories.

Publication order The books in order of release:


 * 1) Charmed Life  (1977) – Guardian Children's Fiction Prize ; Carnegie Medal commendation; Preis der Leseratten (ZDF Schülerexpress, Germany)
 * 2) The Magicians of Caprona  (1980)
 * 3) Witch Week  (1982)
 * 4) The Lives of Christopher Chant  (1988) – Carnegie Medal commendation
 * 5) Mixed Magics  (2000), short stories published 1982 to 2000
 * 6) Conrad's Fate  (2005)
 * 7) The Pinhoe Egg  (2006) – Mythopoeic Fantasy Award Children's finalist; Locus Award Locus Award for Best Young Adult Book|Young Adult Book, 6th place

If the short stories in  Mixed Magics  are counted separately, the order of release is:


 * 1) Charmed Life  (1977)
 * 2) The Magicians of Caprona  (1980)
 * 3) Witch Week  (1982)
 * 4) " The Sage of Theare ", in  Hecate's Cauldron  (1982) ed. Susan M. Schwartz
 * 5) " Warlock at the Wheel ", in  Warlock at the Wheel  (1984) by Jones
 * 6) " Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream ", in  Dragons and Dreams  (1986) ed. Jane Yolen et al.
 * 7) The Lives of Christopher Chant  (1988)
 * 8) " Stealer of Souls ", in  Mixed Magics  (2000) by Jones
 * 9) Conrad's Fate  (2005)
 * 10) The Pinhoe Egg  (2006)

Reading order Diana Wynne Jones herself, however, recommended reading the books in this order:
 * 1) Charmed Life  (1977)
 * 2) The Lives of Christopher Chant  (1988)
 * 3) Conrad's Fate  (2005)
 * 4) Witch Week  (1982)
 * 5) The Magicians of Caprona  (1980)

The short stories in  Mixed Magics  can be read in any order after that.  The Pinhoe Egg  can probably be read after  The Magicians of Caprona .

Chronological order

Two works feature Christopher Chant as a boy and teen; the others are set during his tenure as Chrestomanci. The narrative sequence is clear for all but two(‡).


 * 1) The Lives of Christopher Chant 
 * 2) Conrad's Fate 
 * 3) Charmed Life (novel)|Charmed Life 
 * 4) " Warlock at the Wheel "
 * 5) " The Sage of Theare "‡
 * 6) Witch Week ‡
 * 7) The Magicians of Caprona 
 * 8) " Stealer of Souls "
 * 9) " Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream "
 * 10) The Pinhoe Egg 

‡ Three of the short stories follow soon after the novels as listed here. On the other hand, " The Sage of Theare " does not have a fictional date or any landmark that relates it closely to another work in the series. (There is some evidence that it predates  Witch Week  whose own place is uncertain. Both works were published in 1982. In the novel, Chrestomanci observes that he likes to dress nicely and reveals that he has been called away in his dressing gown a couple of times in spite of his care. That may be an allusion to the short story, where he is summoned in pyjamas.)

‡  Witch Week  is set sometime after Charmed Life, in which Chrestomanci acquires his ward legal ward Janet Chant.

Chronicles of Chrestomanci The  Chronicles of Chrestomanci  series are set in three volumes:
 * Volume 1 (2001) contains Charmed Life  and  The Lives of Christopher Chant.
 * Volume 2 (2001) contains  Witch Week  and  The Magicians of Caprona.
 * Volume 3 (2008) contains  Conrad's Fate  and  The Pinhoe Egg.

Dalemark Quartet
In order of internal chronology:
 * 1) The Spellcoats  (1979)
 * 2) Cart and Cwidder  (1975)
 * 3) Drowned Ammet  (1977)
 * 4) Crown of Dalemark  (1993) – Mythopoeic Award, Children's Fantasy

However, when the books were published by Oxford University Press, they were numbered in the order in which they were published (Cart,  Ammet,  Spellcoats, Crown), and it is possible to read them in this order without any spoilers. (Each of the three other than Crown is a self-contained story with no direct references to the characters or events of the other three books, except for tenuous connections between the characters of  Spellcoats, and the folkloric heroes they would be remembered as by the time of the later books. Thusly, minor spoilers can be avoided by reading  Spellcoats , the third book, but the order is otherwise irrelevant as long as Crown is read last.)


 * Everard's Ride  (the novella) and " The True State of Affairs " are said to be set in the Dalemark Universe, but are not connected to the other characters in the series.

Compilations
 * The Dalemark Quartet, Vol. 1: Cart and Cwidder & Drowned Ammet  (1977)
 * The Dalemark Quartet, Vol. 2: The Spellcoats & The Crown of Dalemark  (1993)
 * The Dalemark Quartet  (1993)

Planned sequels Diana Wynne Jones insists she will not be able to write a sequel to  The Crown of Dalemark , until she has worked out what becomes of Tanaqui (The Spellcoats ) after the One has reshaped the land. Unfortunately, Diana Wynne Jones' passing in 2011 makes any further sequels unlikely.
