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?

I adore Dogsbody and Howl's Moving Castle (the sequels to HMC are also charming, but I don't have the same starry-eyed adoration for them). Hexwood and Deep Secret are also wonderful, and I have a soft spot for Tale of Time City because it contains a passage that actually made me laugh until I was sobbing.

I think I need to reread these now.

I think I'm going to be checking out Dogsbody pretty soon.
