I couldn't resist starting another Diana Wynne Jones book, so I'm reading
"The Lives of Christopher Chant" now.

To clarify Polgara's earlier response, "The Lives..." is a prequel to
the other books, concerning the childhood of Christopher Chant, when he
first discovers he is a powerful enchanter and has inherited the role
of Chrestomanci. It was the fourth of the series to be published.

"Charmed Life" is the first book in the series, then comes "The Magicians
of Caprona" and, finally, "Witch Week". "Mixed Magics" appears to be
the latest in the series. I have it on order (not from Amazon.co.uk!).

The books are related only by the appearance of Chrestomanci; they
are otherwise unrelated and have different characters, as they concern
alternative worlds.
