I wanted to share Zamonia with the international audience of hootoo because I think the books are really great - most of them. But I have no idea if I did it right. I've also not yet finished re-reading Der Schrecksenmeister. I guess most of the summaries are too long and I had troubles with the German names but found the English names of the translations didn't really fit in most cases.

Well, any ideas how I can make this better?

Gnomon - time to move on

I think it needs an introduction explaining that this a series of books about a lost continent. Say who wrote them and how popular they are. Other than that, this is pretty good.

My daughter loved Captain Bluebear when she read it a few years ago as a young teenager.

Personally I enjoyed this and expect to see it in Peer Review soon.smiley - ok

There were a few minor spelling things here and there, but no more than you'd expect to see in any article over 3,500 words long:
The oceans rised and covered them all with water – rised should be rose
Halluzinations, halucination - Hallucination
caravane – Caravan?
Encyclopedia – encyclopaedia
Rumors – Rumours
Hasdriven – has driven
Delicacys – delicacies
Autor – author
The only other thing I would consider is perhaps mentioning Walter Moers earlier, rather than wait until the fourth paragraph.

As for other suggestions, without having read the books I don't really know what I would add, but look forward to seeing what others have to suggest.

I agree that an introduction about the books would be nice, and maybe who publishes the books in English so if I was intersted I could order them?

I have chaged the beginning and have (hopefully) corrected all the mistakes.

I'm still reading the Alchemaster's Apprentice, I'm about 1/3 through the book, but I'm slow at the moment.
