Howl’s Moving Castle: “The Movie Was Better”


I sit (virtually) with my artistic conspirator and college-attending daughter, Jasmine, to discuss one of our favorite pieces of fiction, Howl’s Moving Castle, comparing Diana Wynne Jones’s original fantasy novel with Hayao Miyazaki’s cinematic interpretation. We also get into anime in general and the differences between Western and Japanese storytelling.

Love Studio Ghibli? Or books by British authors? Please give us a listen!
