But the new friendship angers the Witch of the Waste, who puts a spell on Sophie, transforming her into an old woman. If Sophie wants to regain her true form, she'll have to join Howl in his magical castle — and decide if she's ready to dare the adventures to come.
This stunning 184-page hardcover book uses full-color artwork from the Studio Ghibli film, along with adapted text that tells the entire story, to create a unique companion volume to the movie. It's the perfect gift idea for any Studio Ghibli fan.
