I had angharad's list. As it turns out, there were two books on it which I had already read (Ballet Shoes and Witch Week); I also read A Great and Terrible Beauty, which accordingly I have discussed at most length.

Witch Week: you are SO RIGHT about the powerlessness of children and invisibility of evil themes. I was more struck by the "pun" in connection with the Britain-centrism of Jones' other Chrestomanci novel where Christopher comes in at the end, The Magicians of Caprona, than by any thematic connections to witch hunts, but now that you've mentioned it, I can totally see it.
Really want to read Ballet Shoes now.
