About this title

Review:

"Moers' creative mind is like J. K. Rowling's on Ecstasy" (Detroit Evening News)

"Moers' writing is alluring, to say the least. He writes with as much detail as he draws, and his vivid imagination is matched by his ability to pace a story and create interesting characters" (The State (South Carolina))

"Moers' drawings...are fantastic, in both definitions of the word, but what's truly appealing is the world that he creates in this marvelous tale of adventure and self-discovery... It's less a text and more an imagination on paper" (Philadelphia Inquirer)

"Parodic and sincere, slapstick and heart-tugging by turns, Moers's novel has fresh things to say on the nature of heroism and nobility" (Washington Post)

From the Publisher:

'Resembles a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Clive Barker with something of the yarn spinning facility of each' Guardian
