Moving Castle: Links
Look outside the door! Right here on the edge of the Waste, flowers are blooming. Even in the information overload of the Web, there are blossoms of real beauty. Look over here, at this patch of other DWJ info available on the web, which includes some great Children's Literature pages.
Other Diana Pages on the web
- DianaWynneJones.com. Official page, maintained by the publisher.
- Diana Wynne Jones is a great site, graphically better designed than Chrestomanci Castle (not hard!). It has Q&A with DWJ, some articles, a bookswap, and Charmed Lives: a fanzine.
- Another fanpage.
- A Dutch fan site. I'd love a translation from anyone who speaks Dutch. If this is Dutch. :)
- A Japanese page, with some anime style fanart and a fanfiction comic. Unless you can read Japanese, you can probably use the Venkarel's reference.
- more Japanese fan art, and again, Ven's helpful reference.
- ACHUKA (children's books UK) DWJ page
Pages with no content in case you can read Japanese
