Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on August 16, 1934)

Happy birthday to the magical Diana Wynne Jones! May your day be filled with more enchantment than Howl's moving castle—and fewer tantrums from temperamental wizards. Your stories have whisked us away on adventures through Dalemark, taught us never to underestimate a determined heroine, and reminded us that even enchanted scarecrows deserve happy endings.

Your timeless tales continue charming readers young and old alike—proving once again that magic truly has no expiration date. Here's hoping your birthday cake is spellbindingly delicious (and free of mischievous fire demons). Cheers to another year of captivating imaginations everywhere; may reality always remain delightfully optional!
