Book Description
The first three volumes of Diana Wynne Jones's quartet of novels about the mythical kingdom of Dalemark were originally published in this country in the 1970s and soon earned lasting popularity. The Spellcoats, the third of the Dalemark books, is a prequel to Cart and Cwidder and Drowned Ammet. Tanaqui and her family have always known they are somewhat different from the other villagers of Shelling. But when the great floods come and they are driven from the village, they begin to see the part they must play in the destiny of the land. As Tanaqui weaves the story of their frightening journey to the sea, and of the terrifying, powerful evil of the mage Kankredin, she realizes the desperate need to understand the meaning of it all. Can she fit the pieces of the puzzle together in time to stop Kankredin's destructive power? Here is a welcome look back to the early clays in the everfascinating chronicle of Dalemark.

Book Description
British author Diana Wynne Jones has been writing speculative fiction for children for more than thirty years. A clear influence on more recent writers such as J. K. Rowling, her humorous and exciting stories of wizard's academies, dragons, and griffins-many published for children but read by all ages-are also complexly structured and thought provoking critiques of the fantasy tradition. This is the first serious study of Jones's work, written by a renowned science fiction critic and historian. In addition to providing an overview of Jones's work, Farah Mendlesohn also examines Jones's important critiques of the fantastic tradition's ideas about childhood and adolescence. This book will be of interest to Jones's many admirers and to those who study fantasy and children's literature.

Book Description
It is a country divided by war. For centuries, the earldoms of the North and South have battled. Now, four young people from different times -- with the help of their mysterious gods, the Undying -- must unite to save their beloved land. When the great floods come to their village and Tanaqui and her family are driven out, they suspect the workings of the evil mage Kankredin. As Tanaqui tells the story of their journey, she begins to fit together clues that could halt his destruction and help her family fulfill their destiny. Against his will, Mitt has been commanded to assassinate a young girl named Noreth, who travels to unite Dalemark. Joining the travelers, he meets the powerful musician Moril and discovers that Maewen, a girl from the future, has taken Noreth's place. Can they defeat Kankredin's ancient evil?
