Review:

Praise for Walter Moers

"Incredible level of imagination, 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"
