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?

For me, it's a toss up between Homeward Bounders and Archer's Goon. I read Homeward Bounders at exactly the right point in my adolescence, and it stuck firmly in my imagination, putting down deep roots. Archer's Goon always has the power to make me laugh.
