More Description Second in the fantasy trilogy set in "a magical world, magically presented . . . Having journeyed there, you will not wish to leave, nor ever forget" (Philip K. Dick). Jonathan Bing, Master Cheeser, has been growing a bit bored in Twombly Town. So it's no surprise that when Professor Wurzle suggests a trip downriver, Jonathan jumps at the chance. A visit to the Evil Dwarf Selznak's abandoned castle leads to a treasure hunt but also to the discovery that Jonathan's old friend the Squire has vanished, and that Selznak may be involved.
Jonathan--accompanied by his wonderpooch Ahab, the Professor, and Miles the Magician--will have to set off to darkest Balumnia, to the city of Landsend, to find the treasure and the Squire. And to make matters worse, Selznak will be there, too . . .
The delightful sequel to
The Elfin Ship by World Fantasy and Philip K. Dick Award-winner James P. Blaylock,
The Disappearing Dwarf was first published in 1983.
"If you have any love for Kenneth Grahame's
The Wind in the Willows, or mouth-watering descriptions of all sorts of food and drink, then these books are for you . . . It's filled with Blaylock's nearly trademarked bits of whimsy
. . . and characters driven by strange monomanias." --
