Please answer the following question: Information: - A prequel is a literary, dramatic, or filmic work whose story precedes that of a previous work, by focusing on events that occur before the original narrative. A prequel is a work that forms part of a back-story to the preceding work. - A novel is a long narrative, normally in prose, which describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of a sequential story. - Lirael (called Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr in some regions) is a fantasy novel by Garth Nix, first published in 2001. Named for its central female character, "Lirael" is the second in his Old Kingdom trilogy, preceded by "Sabriel" and continued in "Abhorsen". - Fantasy is a fiction genre set in an imaginary universe, often but not always without any locations, events, or people from the real world. Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Magic and magical creatures are common in many of these imaginary worlds. Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction. - Sabriel is a fantasy novel by Garth Nix, first published in 1995. It is the first in his Old Kingdom trilogy, followed by "Lirael" and "Abhorsen". - The Old Kingdom , or Abhorsen in North America , is a fantasy fiction series by Australian author Garth Nix . It originated in 1995 with the novel Sabriel and has continued in novels Lirael ( 2001 ) and Abhorsen ( 2003 ) , novella The Creature in the Case ( 2005 ) , and other short fiction . In Australia the omnibus edition comprising three novels and one novella was titled The Old Kingdom Chronicles ( 2009 , Allen & Unwin ( Australia ) ) . U.S. omnibus editions have been titled The Abhorsen Trilogy ( 2003 ) and The Abhorsen Chronicles ( 2009 ) . ISFDB catalogues the entire continuing series as '' The Old Kingdom / Abhorsen '' . The series continued with the prequel novel Clariel ( 2014 ) . Nix has announced another Old Kingdom book , a '' sequel of sorts to Abhorsen '' ( below ) . - Garth Richard Nix (born 19 July 1963) is an Australian writer who specialises in children's and young adult fantasy novels, notably the "Old Kingdom", "Seventh Tower" and "Keys to the Kingdom" series. He has frequently been asked if his name is a pseudonym, to which he has responded, "I guess people ask me because it sounds like the perfect name for a writer of fantasy. However, it is my real name." - A novella is a work of written, fictional, narrative prose normally longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. The English word ""novella" derives from the Italian "novella", feminine of "novello", which means "new". The novella is a common literary genre in several European languages. - A short story is a piece of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting. Emerging from earlier oral storytelling traditions in the 17th century, the short story has grown to encompass a body of work so diverse as to defy easy characterization. At its most prototypical the short story features a small cast of named characters, and focuses on a self-contained incident with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood. In doing so, short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components to a far greater degree than is typical of an anecdote, yet to a far lesser degree than a novel. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel, authors of both generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques. - Abhorsen is a fantasy novel by Australian writer Garth Nix, first published in 2003. It is the final novel in his Abhorsen trilogy (unofficial name coined by fans) and his third book in the currently five book long planned Old Kingdom series (following "Sabriel" and "Lirael").
