The MagicQuest series is a multi-author collection of fantasy novels published between 1958 and 1985. The series brings together work from several notable writers of children’s and young adult fantasy, including Peter Dickinson, Diana Wynne Jones (The Magicians of Caprona), Elizabeth Marie Pope (The Sherwood Ring, The Perilous Gard), and Tanith Lee.
The books cover a wide range of fantasy settings and styles. Some are quest stories, others deal with time travel or fairy enchantments, and several draw on medieval or historical settings. The Perilous Gard, by Elizabeth Marie Pope, won a Newbery Honor in 1975, and Diana Wynne Jones’s The Magicians of Caprona is part of her well-known Chrestomanci sequence. Peter Dickinson’s Tulku, also included in the series, won the Carnegie Medal. The MagicQuest label groups these books together as a shared imprint rather than a connected narrative.
