Diana Wynne Jones, 1934-2011

Ave atque vale. She brought light to a great many people.

Diana Wynne Jones was never my favorite author, which makes me think I've not read the right ones out of her books--of the few (five?) I have read, I liked The Spellcoats and The Crown of Dalemark best, for very different reasons. I've seen appreciations for Dogsbody and Fire and Hemlock today; what's your favorite DWJ novel?

Dogsbody, no question. I like all of her books that I've read, at least a little, but Dogsbody is one of those books that got into my soul and helped shape my concept of what is true.

I haven't read Fire and Hemlock, though.
