Dogsbody
Sirius the Dog Star has been convicted of the murder of a fellow luminary. As his punishment, he is sent down to earth to live as a dog, in which form he will die unless he can recover the mysterious Zoi.
With only dim memories of the star-world from which he has fallen, Sirius embarks on his seemingly impossible quest. Struggling to overcome the obstacles placed in his way by worldly as well as other-worldly forces, Sirius discovers that he must join the cold frosty hounds of the underworld in their midnight hunt. Only then can he make his request to their shadowy master.

Diana Wynne Jones
Long before fantasy became mainstream, Diana Wynne Jones was quietly rewriting its rules—building magical worlds that felt both whimsical and wise, mischievous and deeply human. Her stories didn’t just sparkle with enchantment; they carried a quiet intelligence that dared young readers to think deeper, look sideways, and always expect the unexpected.
Born in London in 1934, Jones grew up amid wartime evacuations and an often-chaotic household—experiences that would later inform the strange, shifting families and fractured realities in her fiction. She studied English at Oxford under tutors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, though she later remarked she learned more by not imitating them. Instead, she carved out her own voice: lyrical but grounded, funny but never flippant, magical yet steeped in emotional truth.
