As the analysis showed, artistic speech is saturated with adjectives. An adjective is a lexis–semantic class of predicate words denoting a non-procedural feature (property) of an object, event, or other feature designated by a name. In English, this part of speech does not have forms of agreement with the noun and is distinguished primarily by its semantic and syntactic characteristics. An adjective is one of the most important parts of English speech. An adjective denotes a distinctive feature of an object, person or phenomenon and answers a question «WHAT?» British writer Diana Wynne Jones (1934-2011) created literary works for children and adults for more than forty years (1970-2011). In almost any study or even a small volume of critical material devoted to her work, one can find an indication of how diverse her legacy is. The author's myth-making, heroic pathos, epic scale of the events and images described, but the writer filled her fantasy novels with completely different content. While the authors of canonical fantasy sought inspiration in myths, legends and tales of the past and sought to create an ideal secondary world into which the writer and readers can escape frоm everyday life, Jones transferred to her fantasy secondary worlds the actual problems that modern children and adults have to face. Despite the fact that the background for the adventures of Jones' heroes is an alternative magical reality, her works are devoid of escapist sentiments typical of fantasy. The fantastic setting in her novels is combined with a deeply realistic representation of characters and relationships, which allows modern researchers of her heritage to judge that the focus of her attention was, firstly, children's and, more broadly, human psychology, and the fantastic entourage only allowed her to give the described phenomena greater brightness and scale. The work of D.W. Jones has so far been extremely rarely analyzed by domestic researchers, despite the fact that it has already become a recognized phenomenon in the world of children's literature. Jones' works in recent years have aroused stable reader interest; the writer is the winner of a number of literary prizes such as Guardian Award, Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature, Phoenix. Since Jones wrote for people of different ages, when writing, she focused on simple, understandable and specific adjectives, which is inherent in a fairy tale, a work of the fantasy genre. For children, this is a great way to replenish their vocabulary with relevant adjectives, and for adults it is a good way to relax by reading a book written in simple language, but affecting serious «adult» problems. So, the main goal of the work was to examine the usage of adjectives by author Diana Wynne Jones in her popular book «Howl’s Moving Castle». It was reached by completing the following tasks. The concept of adjectives and their role in literary speech were considered; stylistic usage of adjectives in artistic speech was found out; the features of the usage of adjectives in «Howl’s Moving Castle» book was highlighted.
