![]() ![]() ![]() Now you can truly experience Jones’s imaginative world with the Folio Society’s edition of Castle In The Air featuring artwork by French illustrator Marie-Alice Harel (who created the artwork for Folio Society’s Howl’s Moving Castle). When his true love is whisked away by a powerful djinn, suspicion falls on Abdullah and his quiet life is unceremoniously upended. House of Many Ways is Jones’ third novel featuring Howl and Sophie, following Howl’s Moving Castle from 1986 (also a movie adaptation made by Hayao Miyazaki in 2004) and Castle in the Air from 1990. However, it all seems like hot air until a temperamental magic carpet causes him to cross paths with a beautiful princess called Flower-in-the-Night. The second book in the series, Castle In The Air is loosely based on the stories from the Arabian Nights and follows Abdullah, a carpet seller who is prophesied to become a great man. What some may not know is that readers can revisit the world of Howl and even check in on Lettie Hatter (now Lettie Suliman) in Jones’s 1990 sequel Castle In The Air and then again in 2008’s House of Many Ways. Many may be familiar with the work of author Diana Wynne Jones via Howl’s Moving Castle, the epic fantasy which was famously adapted by Studio Ghibli in the 2004 Oscar-nominated movie, breaking pretty much all Japanese movie records in the process. ![]()
