Now an animated movie from Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki, the oscar-winning director of Spirited Away
The beloved modern classic, released as an unabridged audiobook for the first time in 2019.
In the land of Ingary, where seven league boots and invisibility cloaks exist, young Sophie Hatter catches the unwelcome attention of the Witch of the Waste and is put under a spell . . .
Deciding she has nothing more to lose, Sophie makes her way to the moving castle that hovers on the hills above her town, Market Chipping. But the castle belongs to the dreaded Wizard Howl, whose appetite, they say, is satisfied only by the souls of young girls…
There Sophie meets Michael, Howl’s apprentice, and Calcifer the fire demon, with whom she agrees a pact. Her entanglements with Calcifer, Howl and Michael and her quest to break her curse come alive with Diana Wynne Jones’s unique combination of magic, humour and imagination.

Funny and fantastic book, something different to read and a story you can relate to, (for me it is to see beauty in everything) beside the magic. Always loved this story since I was a child.

Read it because of Ghibli. Found alike but different, but just as good or better than the Ghibli adoption. The speaker makes the writing come to life in an excellent way, making this one of my favourite books of all time. It is cozy, relaxed and warps up with pure excitement in the ending. But I really loved that all the cozy details, that just seems to add to the atmosphere also end up adding to the plot, making it all seem more realistic (the way the plot goes, for it is a book filled with magic in a unique way, especially if you compare to Harry potter)
