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.
Seven journal-y type posts about my bookish adventures in 2023.
The most important and worthwhile bookish thing I did this year is that the Howl’s Moving Castle trilogy by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle, Castle In the Air, and House of Many Ways) came out with new covers by Josee Shimazaki (pictured), I instantly fell in love with them, and I forwarded the post to Booksweet’s Instagram and I was like “I know these are British editions, can you get them for me?” and they DID. They’re beautiful, they’re paperback, I can carry them around, I’m going to mark them up and annotate them and feature them in any Bookish Posts I make forever.
