Jones, Diana Wynne - Howl's Moving Castle : 224 pages, © 1986

 

Cursed to appear old by the Witch of the Waste, eighteen-year-old Sophie sets out to make her fortune anyway.  She meets the wizard Howl, a disreputable rogue, and begins to fall in love with him.  She joins forces with a fire demon to break hers and Howl's curses, and to stop the Witch.  While not based on a specific fairy tale, this novel plays with the conventions of many folk and fairy stories, to great and humorous effect.
