Sarah Hogle
"Whatever Hayao Miyazaki is eating and drinking, Sarah Hogle is eating and drinking it as well. Or else how can you explain the magic that exudes from each word she writes? . . . I am a Sarah Hogle fan first, human second. And this story has my entire heart with its flowery magic and loveable and absolutely hilarious characters."
