Diana Wynne Jones: Dark Lord of Derkholm (2013, HarperCollins Publishers Limited)
English language
Published 2013 by HarperCollins Publishers Limited.
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.
A fantasy comedy of everybody rushing around trying to deal with one disaster or another. But the flippant deaths and murdering of convicts for entertainment was too incongruous with the otherwise lighthearted tone, it feels very dated and was disappointing.
