Bookseller recommendation
“Little did I know that I needed a heartwarming and eccentric family made up of four humans and five griffins in my life! If a cartoon were turned into a book, it’d be this absurd but absolutely charming novel. Just like us, the people of this fantasy world are exhausted and overwhelmed and overworked—but they’re living alongside dragons and flying pigs and elves! It’s a fun romp with sinister undertones. ”
— Sydney • Book Soup
Summary
Mr. Chesney operates Pilgrim Parties, a tour group that takes paying participants into an outer realm where the inhabitants play frightening and foreboding roles. The time has come to end the staged madness . . . but can it really be stopped?
Master storyteller Diana Wynne Jones serves up twists and turns, introduces Querida, Derk, Blade, and Shona and a remarkable cast of wizards, soldiers, kings, dragons, and griffins, and mixes in a lively dash of humor. With all the ingredients of high fantasy, this unforgettable novel will delight fans old and new.
