Overview
Step into the whimsical, wizard-filled Land of Ingary with this complete three-book paperback collection by acclaimed fantasy author Diana Wynne Jones. Featuring Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Air, and House of Many Ways, this trilogy follows unforgettable heroes through enchanted castles and daring magical quests.

About the Books
In Howl's Moving Castle, Sophie Hatter is an ordinary hat-maker until the Witch of the Waste curses her, transforming her into an old woman. 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.
Castle 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.
House 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.
Together, these three stand-alone yet interconnected stories showcase Diana Wynne Jones's gift for blending humour, heart, and inventive fantasy.
