After a fall through a dimensional rift, Qwert, the Jelly Prince from the 2364th dimension, awakens in the parallel world of Orméa. Confused, he realizes that he is in the body and armor of an attractive knight he knows from trivial novels: Prince Kaltbluth. It's no surprise that he must first rescue a bound beauty guarded by a three-headed monster. With the help of his invisible rapier, the Master of Disguise, he succeeds in the rescue – but the saved one turns out to be a dangerous Janus Medusa, who wants to turn all life to stone with her evil gaze. From now on, Prince Kaltbluth has a knightly obligation: he must save Orméa from the unleashed Medusa. Unfortunately, he has just fallen hopelessly in love with her. Walter Moers takes us on a thrilling journey through a crazy world filled with nothing but adventures, excitement, knightly romance, witty humor, and pure storytelling delight. In this breathless page-turner, where nothing is as it seems and everything always turns out differently than expected, the most adventurous ideas and images from our culture intersect, from ancient myths and knight novels to fantasy films; from the Nibelungen and Greek mythology to Don Quixote and King Arthur's Round Table, all the way to Monty Python. The first edition is released with colored edges.
