THE DEVIL AND MRS. GOOCH
From the best-selling author ofĀ Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil, a new, hilarious novel in theĀ Household GramaryeĀ universe.
In the storm-drenched city of Verdigris, home to indolent sorcerers and undead hotels, something is dreadfully wrong. Buildings are starting to crumble due to the kidnapping of their hobs, the many-legged house spirits that keep each home in order. In such times, one would ordinarily blame the Devil, but he has been enchanted by a new and enticing evil: The jackbooted villainy of Gwendolyn Gooch, who has taken the hobs for her latest diabolical schemeāapartments for rent. As the hobs retrofit the gaudy Gooch Towers, the fate of the city lies in the hands of the arboreal Professor Green; his rare, complete set of theĀ Household Gramarye; and its famulus, the prim Mrs. Bobkins.
A delightful new novel in a series āperfectly cut to fit the Pratchett-shaped hole in my heartā (C. M. Waggoner),Ā The Devil and Mrs. GoochĀ is witty, imaginative, and brimming with charm.
TheĀ Household GramaryeĀ series may be read in any order you wish, as wizards care little for strict sequentiality.
