El castillo ambulante

Synopsis of El castillo ambulante

In the magical land of Ingary, where seven-league boots and invisibility cloaks are commonplace, being cursed by a witch is nothing out of the ordinary. When the Witch of the Waste transforms Sophie Hatter into an old woman, she decides to leave the family hat shop in search of help. Her destiny leads her to the moving castle, a place that frightens the inhabitants of Market Chipping. Inside, Sophie will not only find a fire demon, but also the enigmatic wizard Howl, famous both for his spells and for stealing hearts. Considered a modern classic of fantasy literature, 'Howl's Moving Castle' has been adapted into film by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, receiving an Oscar nomination. This edition includes an interview with Diana Wynne Jones, illustrated details, and a new translation.
