Using twenty-one drawings from the work of Gustave Do-, the most successful illustrator of the 19th century, Walter Moers has created a wondrous and utterly delightful tale.

But before he can achieve this, Gustave must first tackle Mysterious Giants and a Siamese Twins Tornado; he also finds himself encountering the Greatest Monster of All, freeing a maiden from the claws of a dragon, riding through a forest full of ghosts, navigating a Galactic Gully and meeting a dream princess, a talking horse, scantily-clad Amazons and even his own self.
