About this audiobook
Charmain Baker is a young girl whose Great-Uncle William has fallen ill. Coming to care for him, she takes up residence in his modest cottage.
But there’s a catch. Charmain’s Great-Uncle William is also known by another name, Royal Wizard Norland. And his is a magical home full of strange curiosities. Perhaps most curious of all is the door that can lead to anywhere—even into the
past or future! As Charmain embarks upon a wondrous journey of discovery, she unknowingly comes to the attention of a powerful sorceress named Sophie and the ever-elusive wizard Howl.

Diana Wynne Jones
DIANA WYNNE JONES was born in August 1934 in London, where she had a chaotic and unsettled childhood against the background of World War II. The family moved around a lot, finally settling in rural Essex. As children, Diana and her two sisters were deprived of a good, steady supply of books by a father, ‘who could beat Scrooge in a meanness contest’. So, armed with a vivid imagination and an insatiable quest for good books to read, she decided that she would have to write them herself.
