The Pinhoe Egg - Diana Wynne Jones

Dug out by... Dave

A huge cast of magical characters inhabit the village around Chrestomanci Castle. The various family members of the Pinhoes, Farleighs and Cleeves are constantly bickering and vying for supremacy. Gammer Pinhoe - 'the old bat' - kicks things off from her tattered armchair. Clothed in layers of black with Nutcase, her cat, in attendance, she doles out orders , setting various plot threads in motion. It's already a world of chaos and when Cat Chant finds the Pinhoe Egg, it doesn't make things any easier.
