The quirky world of Zamonia from Walter Moers

Captain Blaubär With his sailor’s yarn, many of us is a term, for example through the fun segments of the broadcast with the mouse. But behind the figure a complete world hides on books of Walter Moers. The twisted Zamonies is up to the top of creatures, cultures, places and stories that take place pleasantly from other fantasy novels.
