Product Information

Key title A new look for one of Diana Wynne Jones' funniest and most popular novels. HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE is now the subject of an animated movie by Hayao Miyazaki, the oscar-winning director of SPIRITED AWAY.

"!Her hallmarks include laugh-aloud humour, plenty of magic and imaginative array of alternate worlds. Yet, at the same time, a great seriousness is present in all of her novels, a sense of urgency that links Jones's most outrageous plots to her readers' hopes and fears!" Publishers Weekly
