 the chrestomanci stories are primarily fantasy, with magic more - or less - common in the various worlds in which they are set: but these worlds are - mostly - alternate earths: some of them are set in alternate historical times, some of them in alternate (approximate) presents.

 the chrestomanci series/worlds novels #1:

#1: ''the lives of christopher chant'' (1988), (this novel)
#2: ''conrad's fate'' (2005), q.v.
#3: ''charmed life'' (1977), q.v.
#4: ''the magicians of caprona'' (1980), q.v.
#5: ''the pinhoe egg'' (2006), q.v.

timing within the sequence uncertain, some time after #2:
#A: ''witch week'' (1982), q.v.

mixed original and reprint collection of four chrestomanci tales:
reprints a short story and two novelettes together with one original novella:
#C: ''mixed magics'' (2000), q.v.
the novella was later published separately for world book day 2002:

#W/#4½: ''stealer of souls'' (2002), q.v.
