    Hola, I've been meaning to get to grips with Diane Wynne Jones for awhile but she's so prolific I don't know where to start. Can someone recommend me three of her books?

    Hey there! Sorry I let this sit for a while.

    The three books you want are:

    - Howl's Moving Castle, a clever, witty fantasy that appeals to adults as much as children.
    - The Homeward Bounders, a children's book with a fantastically interesting premise.
    - The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, a nonfiction book that humourously highlights, mocks and deconstructs the traditional fantasy elements, all in the foorm of a tour guide! A standard reviewer's tool, and so funny I've repeatedly given copies as presents.

    Sweet. I'll get my teeth into Howl's Moving Castle and see how I get on.
