Cart and Cwidder (The Dalemark Quartet, #1) (Oxford Children's Modern Classics, #1) (Dalemark S., v. 1)

by Diana Wynne Jones

Cart and Cwidder is the first in the best-selling Dalemark Quartet of books and tells the story of Moril and his brother and sister who are travelling musicians journeying through Dalemark, until one day they pick up a mysterious passenger. Somehow Moril's family and the stranger are becoming bound together in terror, flight, and music. *Diana Wynne Jones is recognized as being one of the most outstanding writers of fantasy in recent times. *The Dalemark Quartet books are for good readers who have enjoyed the Christopher Chant books by the same author. The books contain the same ability to immerse the reader with real child characters having magical adventures in an imaginary world. *This genre of fantasy writing is currently very popular due to the success of the recent 'Lord of the Rings' film. *Diana Wynne Jones has won the Guardian Award for fiction and has written over twenty novels in less than twenty years.

These four books are a reread for me, but still incredibly enjoyable. I think the story is well written, and I find myself very caught up in the reading.
