Howl's Moving Castle |
One of my responses to lockdown has been to revisit some of the authors of my past. Diana Wynne Jones is certainly one of my favourites - but not from childhood; from my early career. Her fantasies are gloriously imaginative and teeming with life. Howl's Moving Castle is a perfect example in which we meet the feisty Sophie, the unreliable but attractive Wizard Howl, a tricky fire-demon called Calcifer - and, of course, a moving castle. What more could one want? (Ferelith Hordon - bwl 97 Summer 2020) |
