Diana Wynne Jones wrote children's and young adult fantasy full of moving houses, unreliable magic, alternate worlds and characters who discover that the adults around them are less competent than they appear. Howl's Moving Castle follows Sophie Hatter after a witch turns her into an old woman and she enters the chaotic household of wizard Howl. Charmed Life begins the Chrestomanci books with siblings Cat and Gwendolen in a world where magic is common but carefully regulated. The Dalemark books take a broader approach through different periods of one invented land. Jones's stories are funny, inventive and often structurally clever, with magical rules revealed through character mistakes rather than exposition. They fit classic children's fantasy, comic magic and portal or parallel-world fiction. Read more Less
