A true original. —Katherine Rundell, bestselling author of Impossible Creatures

A deluxe hardcover edition of the beloved international bestseller, Howl's Moving Castle. The stunning package is perfect for gift-giving and collecting for every reader who has fallen in love with the iconic Wizard Howl.

Diana Wynne Jones's unique combination of magic, humour, and imagination dazzles in this modern classic—beloved by readers of all ages.

When Sophie Hatter unwittingly attracts the attention of the Witch of the Waste, she finds herself transformed into an old woman. To untangle the enchantment, Sophie must infiltrate the ever-moving castle in the hills, handle the heartless Wizard Howl, strike a bargain with a fire demon, and meet the Witch head-on. Along the way, she discovers that there's far more to the irresistibly charming Howl—and herself—than first meets the eye.

This deluxe limited edition features:

  • Luminous new jacket artwork and full-colour endpapers by artist Devin Elle Kurtz.
  • Digitally printed edges.
  • Shimmering foil stamping on the case.
  • Striking black-and-white interior artwork by internationally bestselling author Stefan Bachmann.

Howl's Moving Castle is beloved by generations of fantasy readers and is the source for Hayao Miyazaki's film, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was recently rereleased in celebration of its twentieth anniversary.

About the Author

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.
