The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books: Zamonia Book Five (Volume 5)

"[Moers is] equal parts J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein." (Washington Post)Zamonia’s greatest writer investigates a mystery in a shadowy book metropolis in this epic fantasy adventure by the author of The Alchemaster’s Apprentice.Astonishingly inventive, amusing, and engrossing, this is a captivating story from the wild imagination of Walter Moers.It has been more than two hundred years since Bookholm was destroyed by a devastating fire, as told in Moers’s The City of Dreaming Books. Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, hailed as Zamonia’s greatest writer, is on vacation in Lindworm Castle when a disturbing message reaches him, and he must return to Bookholm to investigate a mystery.The magnificently rebuilt city has once again become a metropolis of storytelling and the book trade. Mythenmetz encounters old friends and new denizens of the city―and the shadowy “Invisible Theater.”“Moers's Munchhausen-esque yarn is enhanced by his equally wild illustrations. . . . Fans will enjoy journeying through Optimus's battle with darkness.” ―Publishers WeeklyEnjoy Walter Moers’s Zamonia Series:The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue BearRumo & His Miraculous AdventuresThe City of Dreaming BooksThe Alchemaster's ApprenticeThe Labyrinth of Dreaming Books Read more
