  • Forever shut and made of wood,

    That’s what I am. My head’s no good

    now that it by a stone was struck.

    Old spectacles bewitched with muck

    repose within me by the score.

    I’m just a cupboard, nothing more.

    -Dancelot Wordwright

    Featured in the novel The City of Dreaming Books, written by his authorial godson Optimus Yarnspinner. Translated from Zamonian and Illustrated by Walter Moers





  • Use old eggs. New eggs sink to bottom of a glass of water and lay on their side, old eggs will sink but stand up, bad eggs float.

    Get the water boiling before adding the eggs.

    Cook for twelve minutes.

    Remove from water and immediately place them in an ice bath.

    Tap the flat end and then roll its side on a hard surface to crack.

    Pick off bits of shell in a vertical line from the flat to the point making sure to remove the film under the shell.

    Peel of the remainder horizontally.

    Eat all damaged eggs.
