Now an animated movie from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, the
oscar-winning director of Spirited Away In this beloved modern
classic, young Sophie Hatter from the land of Ingary catches the
unwelcome attention of the Witch of the Waste and is put under a
spell… Deciding she has nothing more to lose, Sophie makes her
way to the moving castle that hovers on the hills above her town,
Market Chipping. But the castle belongs to the dreaded Wizard Howl,
whose appetite, they say, is satisfied only by the souls of young
girls… There Sophie meets Michael, Howl’s apprentice, and
Calcifer the fire demon, with whom she agrees a pact. Her
entanglements with Calcifer, Howl and Michael and her quest to
break her curse come alive with Diana Wynne Jones’s unique
combination of magic, humour and imagination.

One of my very favourite books

I love this book so much - as does my teenage daughter. Complex, funny, gorgeous. It is probably the only book that I completed and immediately started it again from the first page to clear up some confusions that I had about the plot, and loved it as much on the 2nd read. It is somewhat similar to the movie (which I also really love, being a huge Studio Ghibli fan) but is used more as a framework and inspiration for the movie as opposed to being 100% faithful.
I am purchasing my 2nd copy because the 1st fell apart after being lent out so often.
