Product details

‘The best children’s writer of the last forty years’

  1. Neil Gaiman
Diana Wynne Jones’s sequel to the much-loved Howl’s Moving Castle explores more of her gorgeously imaginative world, taking the story to a distant land infused with the flavours of The Arabian Nights. Castle in the Air tells the sort of fairy tale only Jones could – warm, clever and enriched with humour, like gold silk in a magical carpet. Marie-Alice Harel, winner of the ninth Book Illustration Competition, returns with more of her exquisite artwork, including six gorgeous full colour images, black-and-white chapter head illustrations, and a wraparound binding design that floats the impossible castle of the title across a night’s sky of silvery stars. This beautiful edition of Castle in the Air also features delicately glittering endpapers depicting the gardens of Abdullah’s dreams, and a splendid decorated slipcase.

The begging was hard to read because of the superficial stereotypes but it got better by the end when Sophie was introduced
