Author Diana Wynne Jones died Saturday at age 76. The majority of her books are aimed at children, but they're the sort of children's books you can reread as an adult over and over.
I discovered Jones when I was maybe 11 or 12 years old. I've read maybe a quarter of her 40 published books, but always intended to read more because I really enjoyed what I'd read. If you have any interest in the fantasy genre, I highly recommend Diana Wynne Jones. Jones published her first novel in 1970 and had been publishing fiction ever since. The Guardian obituary, interesting reading, can be found here. The latter states that another short novel, as well as a nonfiction collection, will be published posthumously.
This is saddening news indeed for lovers of the fantasy genre. The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia. The Daily Beast. Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post.
