Biography
Dianna Wynne Jones is known for her intelligent, humorous, and decidedly oddball children’s and young-adult fantasy and science-fiction books. Jones was inspired to start writing because of her own dismay at the children’s fiction available for her sons. Her best-loved books are the Chrestomanci series, which includes CHARMED LIFE, THE LIVES OF CHRISTOPHER CHANT, THE MAGICIANS OF CAPRONA, WITCH WEEK, CONRAD’S FATE, and THE PINHOE EGG.

Top review for a book by Diana W. Jones
A Reader wrote a review on Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 2: The Magicians of Caprona/Witch Week
These two stories detail two messes that eventually need Chrestomanci to help sort out. The Magicians of Caprona takes place in a version of Italy with feuding magical families and other treachery and is in another world entirely and Witch Week gives us a variety of interesting characters and explains that there is one event in history that allllllways has to go a certain way. While both stories spend more time with the characters and plots that need Chrestomanci than him, they expand on what we know of the related worlds and the job that can only be done by a nine lifed enchanter.

She is a wonderful writer! A couple of questions about this page: Why is there a weird video about reptiles that has nothing to do with DW Jones, why does it say she was born in Canada when she was actually born in London, England and how can I add a picture of her...and books that don't have pictues in general? Does anyone know?

She could kick J. K. Rowling's ass any day.
