11 Enchanting Books for Fans of Miyazaki Films

"Books for Miyazaki fans run the gamut of age range and genre, but there are themes that tie them together. Imaginative worlds to get lost in, inhabited by wondrous creatures. Determined characters who get creative and learn to believe in their own powers. Antagonists who come in varied forms, often with trickster attributes that don't sit neatly on a good-to-bad spectrum. And plots highlighting humanity's responsibility to care for our natural environment. I've curated a selection of books that touch on these themes with stories both serious and whimsical, rooted in folklore or everyday life. You're sure to find one that can match your favorite Miyazaki film."
