I saw the movie adaptation a while back, not even knowing it had been based on a book. I really enjoyed the movie, but once again, the book is so much better. Especially since I now know how loosely the movie is based on this.

Dianna Wynne Jones is a fantastic writer. The descriptions she renders paint a clear picture of this wonderful world. Her characters leap off the page with their unique personalities and quirks. Filled with charm, wit and warmth it will have you smiling all throughout!]]>
