It is the story of Sophie, who is the eldest daughter of a hatter. She knows she will eventually inherit the hat shop....until one day she is enchanted and she must leave her home to seek help to break the spell. It is then that she knows she must enter the castle of the Wizard Howl--the lecherous wizard she has always been warned away from. He eats the hearts of innocent young women, you know!
I found this story a little convoluted, but clever and fun all the same. My favorite character was the fire demon, Calcifer. And the book ended in my favorite way--all the loose ends tied up. It was very fun to read.
