About this listen
Anthony Head reads this spellbinding story collection, featuring Chrestomanci and many familiar friends and worlds.
Four stories featuring the marvellous, enigmatic and embroidered-dressing-gowned enchanter, Chrestomanci!
Warlock at the Wheel
In which the Willing Warlock (from Charmed Life) is exiled to a world without magic and meets a formidable opponent – a little girl and her dog!
Stealer of Souls
In which Cat (from Charmed Life) and Tonino (from The Magicians of Caprona) are pitted against an evil enchanter with a dastardly plan.
Carol Oneir’s Hundredth Dream
In which Carol, whose lucrative dreaming career is brought to an abrupt halt by a severe case of dreamer’s-block, is sent to Chrestomanci in search of a cure. He takes on the case as a personal favour to her dad, whom he went to school with (in The Lives of Christopher Chant).
The Sage of Theare
In which the Sage of Dissolution wreaks havoc, thereby threatening the existance of all the worlds that have ever been!

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Midway through Carol Oneir's Hundredth Dream, distortion makes it impossible to listen for five minutes. (Checked on three different devices.)Who was your favorite character and why?
My favourite character is always, always Cat Chant. Chrestomanci is wonderful, but Cat is far easier to relate to and so beautifully imperfectly human.Would you listen to another book narrated by Anthony Head?
Absolutely. His diction is clear, pacing smooth and makes sense of the story, and he creates distinct speaking patterns for the characters without exaggerating vocal characteristics.Was Mixed Magics worth the listening time?
It was! The format of short stories makes it great listening when I don't have enough time to settle into a longer narrative.Great stories and narration
