House Of Many Ways (Special Hb Edition) (Hb)

by Diana Wynne Jones

House Of Many Ways, a chaotically magical sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle, follows Charmain Baker as she unexpectedly guards her great Uncle William’s cottage—a doorway to a tapestry of realms. This playful fantasy is perfect for readers who love clever heroines, quirky magic, and brisk, adventurous storytelling, and the special Hb Edition makes a splendid gift for fans of wonder. Written with warmth and wit, House Of Many Ways unfolds as Charmain navigates a tidal wave of duties—from caring for an extraordinarily magical stray dog to mentoring a muddled apprentice wizard—while a royal box of precious documents must be safeguarded and a clan of irritable blue creatures stirs up trouble. The single door of the cottage opens into cozy bedrooms, bustling kitchens, secret caves beneath the mountains, and dazzling journeys into the past, all while Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer steal the scene at just the right moments. The pace stays lively, the humor sincere, and the heart glad, inviting readers to trust in charm, courage, and clever thinking. The cottage door opens to realms across space and time Charmain Baker’s witty, resourceful narration A memorable cast—Norland, Sophie, Howl, Calcifer, and more Humor and warmth blended with real fantasy peril Accessible, brisk storytelling that invites readers of many ages A special Hb Edition crafted for gift-giving and collection After finishing House Of Many Ways, readers carry a sense of wonder, a little courage, and a belief that a doorway can lead to extraordinary adventures — and that it’s never too late to answer the call of imagination.
