Summary
A German cult classic follows the epic adventures of a bear with twenty-seven lives - only half of which are disclosed by the fantastical blue bruin - in a volume that relates his experiences with such figures as the Spiderwitch, the Troglotroll, and the Gelantine Prince from the 2364th Dimension.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
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.
"A bluebear has twenty-seven lives. I shall recount thirteen and a half of them in this book but keep quiet about the rest," says the narrator of Walter Moersâs epic adventure. "What about the Minipirates? What about the Hobgoblins, the Spiderwitch, the Babbling Billows, the Troglotroll, the Mountain Maggotâ¦Mine is a tale of mortal danger and eternal love, of hairâs breadth, last-minute escapes." Welcome to the fantastic world of Zamonia, populated by all manner of extraordinary characters. Itâs 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.Editions
