5.0 out of 5 stars The Ants Go Marching, Dooby Doo., Aug 23 2001
By sometimes_a_little_manic (the suburban midwestern United States) - See all my reviews
One of my all time favorites... It's out of print, I'm afraid, but well worth the hunt for a used copy!
Blaylock seems to subscribe to Hitchcock's philosophy of:
There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it.

A search for lost treasure in the land of Balumnia...
A mad dwarf seeking revenge...
Pocket watches ground to dust...
Magical coffee that makes one talk to stuffed toads...
Headless boatmen rowing about the tweet river...

What more could you ask for?

Are you a fish?

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best whimsical fantasy novels ever!, Jan 18 2000
The Disappearing Dwarf is the fantastic sequel of Blaylock's "The Elfin Ship" and while it stands out as one of my favorite books of all time, you must understand the Blaylockian mindset to know why. Again the characters Jonathan Bing, Ahab, Professor Wurzle, and now Gump and Bufo, take us on a trip through Balumnia where Sikorsky/Selznak the Dwarf is up to his old tricks.

If you ever wondered about how coffee would taste if made from river water, or why a haberdasher should never swim in his clothes, or even why Zippo the magician shouts, "Hocus Pocus Mooliocus" before smashing pocket watches during his performance, this book is for you.

This is another book my son will hear when he is a little older. If you can find a copy, it would be well worth your while.
