House of Many Ways

A chaotically magical sequel to "Howl's Moving Castle" from the incomparable Diana Wynne Jones. Charmain Baker is looking after her Great Uncle William's tiny cottage; but he is the Royal Wizard Norland, and the cottage door can lead to any number of places: the bedrooms, the kitchen, the caves under the mountains, the past.... 'Diana Wynne Jones is, quite simply, the best writer of magic there is, for readers of any age' Neil Gaiman

DIANA WYNNE JONES was born in August 1934 in London, where she had a chaotic and unsettled childhood against the background of World War II. The family moved around a lot, finally settling in rural Essex. As children, Diana and her two sisters were deprived of a good, steady supply of books by a father, 'who could beat Scrooge in a meanness contest'. So, armed with a vivid imagination and an insatiable quest for good books to read, she decided that she would have to write them herself.
