There is something about the books you own. There is a sense to them. You can tell what they are simply by touch. Possession feels physically different than The Forgotten Garden. They even smell different.

If you know, extactly what I am talking about, then this book is for you.

Moers tells the story of Yarnspinner and his search for the writer of the most perfect thing he has ever read. This quest takes him to Bookholm and then to places far more dangerous. Along the way, Moers examines the place of writers, critics, and readers. The birth of the creative flame is examined. The characters are well known to readers as distilled spirits of writers past and present.

Characters include Booklings, Bookhunters, and the fearsome Shadow King.

A book about loving books.
