Inhaltsangabe

The Wizard Howl is irresistible, unforgettable, and iconic.

"[Diana Wynne Jones is] the kind of author that you can meet for the first time at 10 years old and fall in love with, and then keep rereading for the rest of your life, always finding new layers." –Vox

This boxed set contains paperback editions of all three beloved books featuring the Wizard Howl:

• Howl’s Moving Castle (the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy Award-nominated animated film),
• Castle in the Air, and
• House of Many Ways.

 In Howl’s Moving Castle, Howl, along with the witty, practical Sophie, and the fire demon Calcifer must untangle the twists and turns of magic and curses in order to save everything they hold dear. Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer make cameo appearances in the two subsequent novels, Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways, which both have magical stories of their own set in the world of Howl. With expert storytelling, an effervescent sense of humor, and an abundance of charm, the masterful Diana Wynne Jones weaves together three bewitching stories in which nothing and no one are quite like they seem.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

In a career spanning four decades, award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones (1934–2011) wrote more than forty books of fantasy for young readers. Characterized by magic, multiple universes, witches, and wizards—and a charismatic nine-lived enchanter—her books are filled with unlimited imagination, dazzling plots, and an effervescent sense of humor that earned her legendary status in the world of fantasy. Her books, published to international acclaim, have earned a wide array of honors, including two Boston Globe–Horn Book Award Honors and the British Fantasy Society’s Karl Edward Wagner Award for having made a significant impact on fantasy. Acclaimed director and animator Hayao Miyazaki adapted Howl’s Moving Castle into a major motion picture, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
