Armed with Dandelion, his talking sword, he fights his way across Overworld and Netherworld, two very different realms chock-full of adventures, dangers, and unforgettable characters: Rala, the beautiful girl Wolperting who cultivates a hazardous relationship with death; General Ticktock, the evil commander of the Copper Killers; Ushan DeLucca, the finest and most weather-sensitive swordsman in Zamonia; Volzotan Smyke, the corpulent Shark Grub; Rolv of the Forest, a Wolperting who can pass through the White Fire; Yggdra Syl, the guardian of the Nurn Forest and its talkative animals; Professor Abdullah Nightingale, inventor of the Chest-of-Drawers Oracle; and, the worst of luck, the deadly Metal Maiden. Astonishingly inventive, amusing and engrossing, Rumo is a captivating story from the wildly fanciful imagination of Walter Moers. 1482383 2003 Rumo: And His Miraculous Adventures total:466|5:229|4:162|3:60|2:11|1:4| 466 1999 721 85 5 2 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 22 01:47:29 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 21 19:37:24 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Aug 12 14:37:18 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 14:01:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 true false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Mar 15 10:17:00 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 08 09:11:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Nov 29 17:40:36 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 17:56:25 -0800 2008 Recommended for fans of Douglas Adams, Monty Python, or anyone that enjoys a good fantasy.]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jun 24 21:25:20 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 21:31:16 -0700 2009
