This site is created by Meredith MacArdle and Helen Scott. There is plenty of material by Diana Wynne Jones herself, as well as articles by fans about her books. Some of Diana's articles, as well as the autobiography and the picture gallery, are quite long files. Be patient if they take a few seconds to download - it's worth the wait. The bibliography is believed to be complete (but any omissions will be gratefully received). And, please let us know of any news or other web sites we should mention. The scrolling quotes are from either The Skiver's Guide or The Tough Guide to Fantasyland.
