'Resembles a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Clive Barker with something of the yarn spinning facility of each' Guardian
Walter Moers was born in 1957 and is a writer, cartoonist, painter and sculptor. He is the creator of the comic strips The Little Asshole and Adolf and his novels include the cult bestseller The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, The City of Dreaming Books, The Alchemaster's Apprentice and The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books. He lives in Hamburg.
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*
