The World of Howl Collection contains, as you might guess, the three titles in the Wizard Howl series, by Diana Wynne Jones. It's on sale right now in the US for only $5.99, which is a really good deal considering the individual titles are usually $9-ish and up, and don't go on sale very often. So if you need and want all three, buy it now! (Sadly, I have two of the three, so this doesn't really work for me...although it's close...)

This is officially a YA title, but I've sure enjoyed the ones I've read...

Titles include:
  • Howl's Moving Castle
  • Castle in the Air
  • House of Many Ways

Quote:
One of the most memorable and irresistible characters in all of literature—the Wizard Howl—is introduced in Diana Wynne Jones's classic fantasy novel Howl's Moving Castle and makes guest appearances in two stand-alone sequel novels, Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways. Howl's Moving Castle was adapted into an acclaimed and Academy Award-nominated film of the same name, produced by Studio Ghibli and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Sophie Hatter never intended to set out and seek her fortune. The eldest of three sisters, Sophie thought she was destined to fail. That all changed the day the Witch of the Waste turned her into an old woman. In order to lift the spell, Sophie barges into Wizard Howl's moving castle and strikes a bargain with Calcifer, his fire demon. But Howl is outrunning a curse of his own, and soon Sophie realizes that nothing is as it appears. . . . Howl, Sophie, and Calcifer return in both Castle in the Air and The House of Many Ways, two stand-alone sequels full of mayhem, secrets, and magic.
