The City of Dreaming Books by Walter Moer truly is about a world of make-believe - the places, the characters, their adventures - all are make-believe and so unusual one needs to leave everything one knows, believes and understands behind. Meet Optimus Yarnspinner, an aspiring author, who receives the most perfect manuscript ever written. In his quest to find the talented author the naive dinosaur finds himself isolated in the catacombs where encounters the friendly one-eyed booklings, The Shadow King, numerous bookhunters, book after book like you have never dreamed existed and the evil Pfistomel Smyke. It's a most unusual and a most interesting read.
