有一天夜晚，正當 12 歲的約克正要回房休息時，他聽見樓上閣樓牆上傳來一聲轟然巨響。約克並不以為意，因為今晚他是待在阿姨家過夜，家裡頭還有叔叔和三個表兄弟姊妹，他心想可能是他們不小心發出的聲音。可是當他半夜驚醒時，發現頭上有些白色石灰，而且閣樓牆上居然出現兩個門把，其中一個還正悄悄轉動著。約克把牆上的石灰粉塵擦了擦後，發現了 99 個不同大小形狀的櫥櫃；他可以聽見其中一個櫥櫃後有下雨的聲音，從另一個櫥櫃中他則看見一個男人在明亮的房間中來回踱步。約克和他的表妹韓莉耶塔立刻明白這些不是普通的櫥櫃，是可以通往其他世界的捷徑。《100 個櫥櫃》是新型態的奇幻冒險小說，有傳統奇幻小說的影子，又帶有奈森威爾森獨特的敘述方式。
