The city of Dreaming Books : a novel from Zamonia by Optimus Yarnspinner

Review

Imagine an illustrated book for grown ups, now stop imagining because you are holding it! Walter Moers, a German author and illustrator, has three of his great books translated into English. City of Dreaming Books is the most recent.  This tale follows the misadventures of Optimus Yarnspinner as he tries to find the real City of Dreaming Books under the city of Bookholm. This is a great novel for those who love books, adventure, wackiness, cool illustrations and mysterious heroes. A really great all around read. In fact pick up all of Walter Moers books NOW!
