In this stunning sequel to Howl’s Moving Castle, Diana Wynne Jones has again created a large-scale, fast-paced fantasy in which people and things are never quite what they seem.
There are good and bad djinns, a genie in a bottle, wizards, witches, cats and dogs (but are they cats and dogs?), and a mysterious floating castle filled with kidnapped princesses, as well as two puzzling prophecies. The story speeds along with tantalizing twists and turns until the prophecies are fulfilled, true identities are revealed, and all is resolved in a totally satisfying, breathtaking, surprise-filled ending.
Abdullah was a young and not very prosperous carpet dealer. His father, who had been disappointed in him, had left him only enough money to open a modest booth in the Bazaar. When he was not selling carpets, Abdullah spent his time daydreaming. In his dreams he was not the son of his father, but the long-lost son of a prince. There was also a princess who had been betrothed to him at birth. He was content with his life and his daydreams until, one day, a stranger sold him a magic carpet.
All fans of classic fantasy books deserve the pleasure of reading those by Diana Wynne Jones, whose acclaim included the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. As Neil Gaiman stated, she was “quite simply the best writer for children of her generation.”
The three books in the World of Howl are:

Copertina bella e luminosa
Devo ancora leggere il libro, ma di fattura è ottimo per un paperback e l’illustrazione sulla copertina è molto bella. Fa una bella figura insieme agli altri due sulla libreria!
Un sequel all’altezza
Scrivere un sequel del Castello Errante sembra un’impresa ardua, difficile eguagliare la genialitá del primo libro. Eppure l’autrice ci riesce, reinterpretando personaggi e figure in maniera per nulla scontata, introducendo nuovi personaggi affascinanti, e situazioni piene di pathos e ricche di humour sottile. Raro anche il fatto che venganoproposti modelli femminili intelligenti, validi e convincenti senza essere moralistici o didattici. Bello, divertente e di sostanza. Ma da leggere tassativamente dopo il primo volume.
I honestly hadn’t read the back of this book and just started reading because of who wrote it and my love for Howl’s Moving Castle. I was SO CONFUSED because I’d felt like I’d grabbed Disney’s Aladdin or something!! I had to search the internet to see which one came first (this book, by the way). Aladdin definitely got some influence from this!It’s a great book! The characters are wonderful, the plot is super tense, interesting, and engaging all the way through… It’s honestly a pleasure to read! HIGHLY recommend! I love Howl’s Moving Castle most of all (but I also came from the anime first and foremost), but this is an utterly FANTASTIC follow-up!
The story is amazing, and the physical qualities of the product are good too. This book has helped me improve my English, and has made me fall in love with the characters. The way magic is portrayed is just perfect, and the romance is beautiful.
Este libro fue un regalo y fue exactamente lo que era. La pasta era blanda pero muy buena y llegó protegido. 100%
Book came in great condition, awesome book series overall. Highly recommend reading all three. This is the second book lol 🙂
I bought this book as part of the new cover set for Howl’s Moving Castle (but is a stand alone story based on the traditional story of Aladdin).I hadn’t read this book before but it’s just as wonderful and the cover is STUNNING. If you love the general storyline of Aladdin, then you’ll love this book. Characters are well developed, funny and will pull your heart strings. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
