Diana Wynne Jones

Not lightly named! She's a winner ! Amazing. Fantasy and Fiction par excellence. Really good at fleshing out character, has a sense of fun and adventure and has original ideas. Even if you don't like her characters, you know them and they all do quirky things.

I have enjoyed most of her books and will post the list asap! One fan has even set up a forum to discuss her books.

She's awesome.

The Chrestomanci series

The Dark Lord of Derkholm
The Year of the Griffin

The Dalemark Quartet

I didn't like The Merlin Conspiracy that much but it was OK.

must read her. also am looking forward to watching the golden compass -- the movie is just out in the theatres i think and it is based on a philip pullman book. it also is woven around some very old myths. have u read that book? did you like it?
