Diana Wynne Jones Adult Book Discussion/Club "The Lives of Christopher Chant"

The Diana Wynne Jones Adult Book Discussion/Club will be discussing the second of the Chrestomanci series, "The Lives of Christopher Chant" as our January 2025 title:

His father and uncles are enchanters, his mother a powerful sorceress, yet nothing seems magical about Christopher Chant except his dreams. Night after night, he climbs through the formless Place Between and visits marvelous lands he calls the Almost Anywheres. Then Christopher discovers that he can bring real, solid things back from his dreams. Others begin to recognize the extent of his powers, and they issue an order that turns Christopher's life upside down: Go to Chrestomanci Castle to train to be the controller of all the world's magic.

The Lives of Christopher Chant is the adventure-filled story of the boyhood of Chrestomanci, the famous magician who also appears in Charmed Life, Witch Week, and The Magicians of Caprona.

Registration is required. A reminder and discussion questions will be sent the day before the discussion. A Zoom link will be sent in the afternoon on the day of the discussion. Email tmantrone@bklynlibrary.org with any questions.
