Detailed item info

Synopsis
Derk, an unconventional wizard, and his magical family become involved in a plan to put a stop to the devastating tours of their world arranged by the tyrannical Mr. Chesney.

Diana Wynne Jones's hilarious fantasy tale of a world under siege by tourists, Mr. Chesney's Pilgrim Parties, who come to do battle with the locals disguised as good and evil armies, is wildly funny and packed with realistic human emotion. Derk, a wizard considered to be a freak by the magical community for his many well-publicized failures, must take on the role of the Dark Lord. Havoc ensues as the household--consisting of talking griffins, flying pigs, man-eating flowers, and the like--prepares to take on the challenge, while the powers-that-be secretly plot to bring down the whole enterprise.

Derk, an unconventional wizard, and his magical family become involved in a plan to put a stop to the devastating tours of their world arranged by the tyrannical Mr. Chesney.

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.
