Year of the Griffin

Set in the same world as Diana Wynne Jones's previous novel, The Dark Lord of Derkholm, The Year of the Griffin is a humorous fantasy sequel that follows a group of students and a clumsy new Head Wizard at the University, several years after the end of magical tourism. As the university struggles with outdated practices and insufficient funding, determined students and an inept faculty find themselves unexpectedly called upon to solve problems and save their institution. This lively story combines wit and charm while exploring themes of growth and resilience.
