It is based on the 1986 novel of the same name by British author \u003cstrong\u003eDiana Wynne Jones, \u003c\/strong\u003eone of the most beloved works of fantasy literature in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story follows \u003cstrong\u003eSophie Hatter\u003c\/strong\u003e, a young hatter's daughter who is cursed by the Witch of the Waste and transformed into an old woman.
