Product details

Make Laugh, Not War

A squirrel that would rather live backwards; a werewolf who wants to be a wiewolf; a carnivorous plant that would like to be a vegetarian; two vampire vulture brothers who despise carrion – many inhabitants of the continent Zamonien struggle with their identity and thus lead a challenging life. But whether it's a silly wolf or a clever fox, a shy bunny or a part-time fly, a tadpole or a bookling, they all find their way in this world where imagination and humor have completely spiraled out of control.

Twenty Zamonian flabels about various forms of Zamonian existence from the pen of bestselling author Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, brilliantly translated, with an afterword – "Humor is Serious Business" – and 45 illustrations by Walter Moers.

The "flabel" refers to a humorous-anarchic Zamonian short story that, unlike the classic animal fable, has no moral.

This is a limited edition with colored edges.
