All of whose protagonists are young in body if not at heart. (Except maybe Daniel Pinkwater--I don't know who that is.)
I've read another YA fantasy book where the (young) female protagonist is cursed to be old. The Changeling Prince (http://www.vivianvandevelde.com/bookDetail.cfm?BookId=27) by Vivian Vande Velde. The age doesn't affect the heroine's perception of herself, only other people's perceptions of her. Although I shouldn't even be comparing; it's primarily an adventure/romance and VVV isn't making any statements.
I've forgotten my point! It was probably just that Howl's Moving Castle is an unusual book and I was afraid that would work against the movie (it didn't).
