Over two hundred years ago Bookholm, the City of Dreaming Books,
was destroyed by a catastrophic firestorm. Optimus Yarnspinner, who
witnessed this disaster, has since become Zamonia's greatest writer
and is resting on his laurels at Lindworm Castle. Spoilt by his
monumental success and basking in adulation, he one day receives a
disturbing message that finally reinvests his life with meaning: a
cryptic missive that lures him back to Bookholm. Rebuilt on a
magnificent scale, the city is once more a vibrant literary
metropolis and Mecca of the book trade teeming with book fanatics
of all kinds. On the track of the mysterious letter that brought
him there, Yarnspinner has scarcely set foot in the city before he
falls prey to its spirit of adventure. He is reunited with old
friends like Inazia Anazazi the Uggly and Ahmed ben Kibitzer the
Nocturnomath, but he also encounters the city's new marvels, which
include the mysterious Biblionauts, the warring Puppetists, and the
city's latest craze, the Invisible Theatre. Yarnspinner strays ever
deeper into the Labyrinth of Dreaming Books, which seems to wield a
strange power over Bookholm's destinies. He is eventually drawn
into an irresistible maelstrom of events far more sensational than
any of the adventures he has previously embarked upon.
