“Diana Wynne Jones ought to be crowned with coloured garlands because she is the best writer of magical fantasy for children in this country” – Evening Standard
“Diana Wynne Jones is, quite simply, the best writer of magic there is, for readers of any age” – Neil Gaiman

a sense of urgency that links Jones’s most outrageous plots to her readers’ hopes and fears…” Publishers Weekly
