Sophie takes refuge in the wandering castle of the feared Wizard Howl, striking a bargain with Calcifer, his fire demon, and apprentice Michael, learning neither curses nor wizards are quite what they seem.\n\nCastle in the Air carries readers south to the markets of Ingary, where carpet merchant Abdullah dreams of a grander destiny. A magical carpet and a mysterious genie set him on a path toward Flower-in-the-Night, daughter of the Sultan of Zanzib, in an Arabian Nights-style adventure of djinns, bandits, and unexpected reunions.\n\nHouse of Many Ways returns to the magical chaos of the Royal Wizard Norland. Charmain Baker agrees to look after her great-uncle William's cottage, only to discover the house bends space and time. Charmain must navigate spellbooks, a troublesome dog, and kingdom politics while growing into her own magical talents.\n\nTogether, these three stand-alone yet interconnected stories showcase Diana Wynne Jones's gift for blending humour, heart, and inventive fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book paperback collection in one convenient set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired the Academy Award-nominated Studio Ghibli animated film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWitty, imaginative storytelling perfect for readers aged 9-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree stand-alone adventures that can be read in any order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new copies, ideal for gifting and building a home library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by an award-winning, internationally celebrated fantasy author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn a career spanning four decades, award-winning author Diana Wynne Jones wrote more than forty books of fantasy for young readers.
