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?

Belatedly: Howl's is perhaps my favorite Miyazaki movie. It's quite different from the book, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.

Good to know--thanks. I've seen only Spirited Away and bits of Totoro, the latter while keeping an eye on a friend's toddler.... At least the Spirited Away disc was subbed, not dubbed!
