Another of my favorite Diana Wynne Jones books: Eight Days of Luke.
(In case you were wondering, I limit myself to one DWJ recommendation a year; otherwise I
could spend an entire year talking about nothing but her.)
I always had a fondness for TALE OF TIME CITY… I spent YEARS looking for it in bookstores and conventions until I finally ran across a copy at one con. This was, of course, before they started reprinting her stuff properly in the US. :>
That one will be appearing in some future year of recommendations, never fear. 🙂 I’ve rarely read a DWJ book I didn’t like.
Is it possibly more warped than Sakura Kinoshita’s “The Mythical Detective Loki” comics?

Hmm… it just may be. I will put this on my list of books to look for. Thanks!

From what little I know of those comics, I don’t know that I would call this more warped, but I find it delightful.
They are both warped, just in very different ways.
Eight Days of Luke is definitely the reason I grabbed 魔探偵ロキ off the shelf. Loki isn’t bad! He’s just misunderstood.
As most tricksters are. ^_^
Glad to know there are others out there who don’t get a glazed over look when someone mentions Sakura Kinoshita’s take on Norse gods.
