Eva Ibbotson's short story collections span nearly three decades and showcase her talent across fantasy and romance.

Each collection can be enjoyed independently, though reading them in publication order allows you to experience the evolution of Ibbotson's storytelling over time. The series is now complete.

24 books (1975–2025)

Eva Ibbotson's standalone novels span from 1975 to 2025, comprising 24 independently plotted books that blend fantasy, romance, and young adult themes. Each novel stands alone and can be enjoyed without reading the others, though readers who wish to explore them chronologically should begin with The Great Ghost Rescue, her debut. The series remains ongoing, with new entries continuing to be added to Ibbotson's diverse catalog. These fantasy-infused stories appeal to readers seeking imaginative standalone adventures rather than serialized narratives.

Start with The Great Ghost Rescue, the first of 24 books in the Standalone Novels series.
