In CHARMED LIFE, there is a moment when the protagonist Cat takes out a bunch of stuff from the castle of the nine-lived enchanter who is now his guardian, but even simple things like china plates are magic there—and they all start to shout out their protest.

‘I belong to Chrestomanci Castle!’ they say. ‘I belong to Chrestomanci Castle!’

Because of Diana Wynne Jones, who I never met, I was irrevocably altered: my purpose in life, the things I wanted, the way I think and the way I communicate with other people. Her words changed my world.

That means a lot. She meant a lot to me.

Part of me belongs to Chrestomanci Castle. It always will.

"Frost," I said scornfully. "I suppose this is what happens in a world where you haven't got a proper goddess to manage things."

Nick isn't quite all right yet, but it's nothing a little magic and kindness can't fix.

There's no rule saying you can't have more than one anchor.

Their game might have finished, but we're just getting started.

Gair goes to live among the Dorig. Gest doesn't understand. Hafny does.

Gair goes to live among the Dorig. Gest doesn't understand. Hafny does.

In which a dragon kidnaps Howl, and Sophie talks to a lot of inanimate objects. Oh, and the dragon.

Janet and Julia are studying abroad (with Klartch along for part of the ride), but something is rotten in the state of Caprona.

Vacation rarely goes as planned for Ingary's most reluctant sorceress.

I tried to give you a little slice of life, mixed with some domesticity in strange situations and some of Mordian's baggage.

Life in a moving castle never quite becomes routine.

We are therefore delighted to offer you a chance to embark on a Special Edition Low Fantasy Tour, available now only to our most valued customers.

You will not encounter any rustic taverns, bards, or bowls of stew on these tours! Instead, expect nightclubs, rock singers, and lots of gourmet coffee.

Bear
The most dangerous of the animals inhabiting the land of YULETIDE. Bears have reportedly eaten Tourists who fail to complete their ASSIGNMENTS on time. Some few Tourists claim that having a Bear snack on their toes is a motivating experience, but we do not recommend testing these claims. If you find yourself in imminent danger of being eaten by one or more Bears, you may wish to consider DEFAULTING.

That evening, after they'd finally seen the last of Gwendolyn, Julia very reluctantly made her way along the corridor. Outside Gwendolyn's room, she set her shoulders and then knocked hard on the door.

I have been trying to think what I can say or do in memoriam, in tribute. The best thing I can think of is that in 2007 I started to write an essay to explain the end of Fire and Hemlock, because a lot of people find it confusing; the essay was meant to have two parts, and I never managed to write the second... And here, now, now-here, is the second part.

The dour-faced man who came to interview Millie the morning after was from the Government.

In which spells go awry, Howl does ALL THE THINGS, and the whole town seems to have come down with the flu. Fortunately, Sophie is on top of it all.

Ansem wasn't the only wizard to have dabbled in the magic of the heart. Sora x Riku x Kairi

Three games Vierran played with Mordion over the years.

Nothing is lost forever.

Two families of powerful magic users go on holiday together. This will end well.

Marianne Pinhoe is not impressed.

At first, they had settled down in the buttery bar, but Claudia kept staring at that bar stool. Not too obviously – Claudia, after all, was a fairly low-key person – but enough to annoy Olga. And to upset Melissa, which was possibly a far worse prospect for their plans for the night.

Howl Jenkins lives near Cardiff. Torchwood lives in Cardiff. Howl does magic. Torchwood finds magic...

Fire demons, it should be noted, are not supposed to be nursemaids.

"Two months after their wedding and Sophie and Howl had not settled down into a more restrained version of domestic bliss..."

In which Howl formally introduces Sophie to his family.

Mordion wasn't sure how he'd first done magic.
