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 always felt like she was one of those authors who, if you found her right when you needed her, got hold of your soul and if you didn't meet her until long after the point that she would have done that, like I did and a few other people I know did, you nod politely while other people wax rapturous.
