Abstract	Works of modern times are no longer limited to one genre, but rather many are fusions of several genres. Diane Wynne Jones’s fantasy novel Howl’s Moving Castle is no exception to this occurrence, its plot structure bearing some evident similarities to that of a fairy tale. The first few pages of the novel reveal the magical land of Ingary whose inhabitants live amongst wizards, witches, and magical items, but also warn us about Sophie Hatter’s gloomy fate, her being the eldest of three sisters and most unlikely to succeed in life. The series of events in the novel bear a striking similarity to those of common fairy tales, but the novel introduces a twist. As the story continues, Sophie, the heroine, embarks on a journey paved with challenges that she overcomes superbly, failing to fulfil her initial destiny. This paper will aim to single out the elements of fairy-tale in Jones’s fantasy novel and to analyse the protagonists’ development according to Vladimir Propp’s Morphology of the Folktale.
