Book Review by Deirdre: Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

Young Sophie Hatter works in a hat shop in the magical land of Ingary where cloaks of invisibility and seven-league boots are commonplace. Turned into an old woman by the Witch of the Waste and unable to tell anyone that she is under a spell, Sophie leaves home and, hoping to have the curse removed, forces her way into the moving castle of the notorious Wizard Howl.  A wonderfully imaginative and entertaining fantasy by a consummate storyteller.
