DIANA WYNNE JONES was the award-winning author of over forty novels for adults and children, among them Howl’s Moving Castle, which was turned into an Academy Award–nominated animated film by director Hayao Miyazaki. She won the Carnegie Commendation, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize, and the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. She died March 26th, 2011.
Grade 4-6-A compilation of fantasy and folktales, one of which is by Jones. Consisting primarily of excerpts from classics such as Tove Jansson's Finn Family Moomintroll (Transaction, 1989), Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth (Knopf, 1972), C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair (Macmillan, 1986), Edith Nesbit's Five Children and It (Puffin, 1985), L. Frank Baum's The Land of Oz (Ballantine, 1985), etc., the book also contains a story by the Brothers Grimm and one by Andrew Lang. Andre Norton, K.M. Briggs, Joan Aiken, and Jane Yolen are also among the 18 authors represented. This is a fine introduction to the genre; although the stories are long, they are well suited to reading aloud.
