Armed with Dandelion, his talking sword, he fights his way through the Overworld and the Netherworld. Rumo is a little Wolperting a domesticated creature somewhere between a deer and a dog who will one day become the greatest hero in the history of Zamonia. Set in the land of Zamonia, this exuberant, highly original fantasy from Walter Moers features an unlikely hero. The fast growing cult of Zamonia will given a boost by the simultaneous release of Overlook s hardcover of Walter Moers s new book set in Zamonia, Rumo. The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear is playful enough for young adult readers, yet as intricate and engaging as any work of literary fiction it has the plot of a novel and the spontaneity and humor of a vintage comic book.
It s a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together, turned on its head, and lavishly illustrated by the author. ‘What about the Minipirates? What about the Hobgoblins, the Spiderwitch, the Babbling Billows, the Troglotroll, the Mountain Maggot Mine is a tale of mortal danger and eternal love, of hair s breadth, last minute escapes.’ Welcome to the fantastic world of Zamonia, populated by all manner of extraordinary characters. I shall recount thirteen and a half of them in this book but keep quiet about the rest,’ says the narrator of Walter Moers’s epic adventure.
