Product Description

The first three books set in Zamonia – the mythical land created by Walter Moers, whose work has been compared to J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein – have achieved raucous critical acclaim and created hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans here and all over the world. Now Moers returns with a fourth “relentlessly whimsical” fantasy (Library Journal).

Praise for Walter Moers

“Incredible level of imagintion… stunning artwork… Twisted, wild, brutally humorous… Moers
as a storyteller is a true original, a one-off whose sensibility and talent cannot be duplicated.
Absolutely magnificent.”—Jeff VanderMeer for Omnivoracious

“Equal parts J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein.” —Washington Post

“This is a children’s book for adults who want to remember the joy of youth, but want more complexity.” —Philadelphia Weekly

“Cheerfully insane…Remains lively and inventive right through the final heroic battle between good and evil.” —The New York Times Book Review


“Moers’s great strength, as evidenced by the multitude of characters he presents, is his creativity… less a text and more an imagination on paper.” —Philadelphia Enquirer

“A yarn of drollery, deeper meaning and sheer lunacy.” —Rolling Stone
