Chronicles of Ancient Darkness

Ask Michelle Anything

Timothy writes…

Hello Michelle,
I grew up on the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness book series and it was my favourite book series by far, one of the best parts of my childhood. I was wondering whether there was a complete special edition for all nine of the books, as I want to keep them in my collection and get them signed by you at some point. My original copy was accidentally destroyed recently by my parents in a move to university and I'm just wondering where I could get the collectors edition.

Michelle Replies…

Dear Timothy, I’m delighted that you’ve enjoyed the books so much, and also glad that you’ve managed to catch up with the last three books in the series!  I’m afraid there isn’t a collector’s edition or any edition of all nine books together, because the final three have a different publisher from the first six; and publishers aren’t great at collaborating on these things. If that changes in the future, I will of course announce it on my website.  In the meantime, though, I’m afraid you’ll have to make do with what’s available.  Although I should say that Head of Zeus, who publish the final three books in the series, have done a gorgeous job of making them look like the originals, because they’ve used the original artists, Geoff Taylor and John Fordham.

Hope this helps.  With very best wishes, Michelle
