Garth Nix - Old Kingdom #4 Clariel - proofread by fan

Okay, here's the deal: I couldn't find the retail version of "Clariel" by Garth Nix -- just the unedited, advance reader's proof. I'm familiar with the Chicago Manual of Style, and I'm training to become a certified proofreader, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I've equalized the mid-sentence dashes to floating em dashes; I've inserted missing end quotation marks; I've corrected the misspelled words and inserted the occasional missing preposition/conjunction (to, at, and); I've placed hair spaces around the ellipses; and there were two instances where a word should have been capitalized but was not.

Other than that, I haven't changed a single word.

Enjoy!
