The City of Dreaming Books reads like an overnight collaboration between Theodore Geisel, Shel Silverstein, Roald Dahl, and maybe even Robin Williams. Wacky and whimsical, this parody of everything to do with books is inspired and sometimes extremely bizarre. Moers recounts the adventures of a prospective young Zamonian author on his quest to the legendary city of Bookholm to find the world's greatest writer, personal fame, and the ever-elusive Orm.

A humorous delight for all who like to spend their time reading, or writing too.
