!!Other works by Margaret Mahy provide examples of:
* AfterTheEnd: ''Maddigan's Fantasia'' is set some time 'after the Great Chaos changed the shape of the world'. The Chaos itself is never described or hinted at, but the entire series is spent trying to ensure that the existing state of things doesn't get any worse.
