About this series
The doors of Castle Chansany open once more, and you are invited!
Come make your bow to King Griffin and Queen Mellany; practice your cantrips with the Wizard Garstang; feast on all things sweet in the banqueting house, with the Court; and dance a minuet in the ballroom with Prince Armael, and the Lady Alvan.
Perhaps you’d rather be down in the kitchens, spinning subtleties out of sugar, and dreams; in the library with the books (though be careful—they’ve minds of their own); making mellow music with the jongleurs, and the bards; or swapping stories with Jessamine, the Court Dragon.
All this and more await you at the Castle, but you’d better make haste. The Court’s going out on Progress, and you don’t want to be late…
Castle Chansany returns with six magical tales of wayward wizardry, wild whimsicality, and rampant mischief! Includes the stories:
Rosewater and Wine
A Fit of the Sullens
Sumptuary
Hurdy Gurdy
Petty Wizardry
Dreamstuff
Contains: dragons and dreams, scintillating spellcraft, boisterous books, and dashing devilry.
Don’t miss the previous stories of Jessamine the dragon, Garstang the Wizard, and all their colourful friends in volumes one and two!

1
Have you been to Castle Chansany? Perhaps you’ve heard of it, or somewhere like it. It’s that airy castle in the clouds, straight out of a dream. A place where wizards spin marvels from their finger-tips, and the Queen holds banquets deep into the night. A place of mystery and curiosity, finery and fancy, where even the furniture might talk to you (if you’re polite enough to it). A place of magic and enchantment, where anything could happen... Come meet the flamboyant Wizard Garstang and his draconic apprentice, Jessamine. Meet the mischievous sylphs, feast with Her Majesty the Queen, and leaf through the first-favourite-spellbook. Or, if you’re very brave, travel Over The Side and down, into the deep, dark forests below... This collection features the first five tales set in the colourful world of Castle Chansany, including: Dragonskin The Best of All Chairs The Far-Below The Queen’s Philtre Knight Errantry

You’ll have to visit, to find out… This second collection in the tales of the Castle features five new stories: Strangeness Aloft Knavery Among His Majesty’s Roses Baldringa’s Blunder Sylphish and Strange Contains: dragons and disasters, magic and misdeeds, wizards and wiles, and smiles aplenty.
