       DEDICATION

       This one is for Stephen

      The idea for this book was suggested by a boy

      in a school I was visiting, who asked me to write

      a book called The Moving Castle.

      I wrote down his name, and put it in such a safe

      place that I have been unable to find it ever since.

      I would like to thank him very much.
