Howl’s Moving Castle remained largely under the mainstream radar until the book was adapted into an animated film by the world-famous Studio Ghibli. Released in 2004, it broke global box-office records and subsequently catapulted the novel to bestseller status.

As the award-winning young-adult novelist Marcus Sedgwick discusses in his newly commissioned introduction, Wynne Jones draws on her childhood with wry references to modern life in suburban Wales and enticing hints at her own history.

Folio’s charming new edition celebrates master storyteller Diana Wynne Jones’s creativity, alongside that of Folio's 2019 Book Illustration Competition winner. Selected from a record-breaking 500 entries from around the world, Marie-Alice Harel re-enchants the fairy-tale tradition with her series of six images created with a lilac-themed palate. Harel also introduces the book's 21 chapters with delicate black-and-white decorations that offer tantalising clues to the story.
