Optimus Yarnspinner, Zamonia's greatest writer, receives a disturbing message that lures him back to his old home of Bookholm. Destroyed by a catastrophic firestorm over two hundred years ago, the city has been rebuilt on a magnificent scale, and is once more a vibrant literary metropolis. As Yarnspinner strays ever deeper into the LABYRINTH OF DREAMING BOOKS, he is drawn into a maelstrom of events far more sensational than any of the adventures he has previously embarked upon. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this is the perfect book for teenage and adult lovers of comic fantasy.
