House of Many Ways

Da Charmain Baker siger ja til at holde øje med sin grandonkels hus, tror hun, at hun vil få en masse fritid til at læse uden irriterende forældre i nærheden. Hvad hun ikke havde regnet med, er, at grandonkel William er troldmand ved hoffet og at hans hus bøjer tid og rum. Hun havde heller ikke regnet med at få ansvar for en magisk omstrejfende hund og en forvirret ung troldmandslærling. Eller at hun ville blive en nøgleperson i kongens hastende jagt efter den berygtede Elfgift, der kan frelse landet. Kongen er så desperat, at han har brug for hjælp fra den småskræmmende troldkvinde Sophie. Og hvorend Sophie er, der vil man med sikkerhed finde stortroldmanden Howl og ilddæmonen Calcifer. Hvordan i alverden havnede den respektable Charmain i midten af dette rod - og hvordan vil hun få sig selv ud igen? "House of Many Ways" er tredje bog i Dianne Wynne Jones' serie om magikeren Howl og hans levende slot. "House of Many Ways" er en dejlig fantasyfortælling, skrevet i samme ånd som den utrolige "Howl's Moving Castle".
