RIP Diana Wynne Jones

Author of many many fantasy books for kids including CHARMED LIFE, THE LIVES OF CHRISTOPHER CHANT, DOGSBODY and (my favorite) A TALE OF TIME CITY, passed away Saturday, at 76. Evacuated from London during the Blitz as a young child, Wynne Jones overcame dyslexia to write the books she was always looking for as a young reader and counted Neil Gaiman among her admirers. She leaves behind one last book called EARWIG AND THE WITCH.
