Description
|
|
|
|
In a world between legend and dream, in a time between youth and adulthood, 12-year-old Gustave must embark on a series of exhilarating and inadvertently comic adventures before he can become a great artist. He will encounter the Siamese Twins Tornado, find the Most Monstrous of All Monsters (and a few pretenders to the title), rescue a beautiful (and very naked) damsel from a dragon, and meet with Death and his giggling sister. As a tribute to Gustave Doré, Walter Moers sets his quixotic story—suitable for literate 12-year-olds and fun-loving adults as well—with 23 engravings by the great 19th-century illustrator.
