If you really really like Captain Bluebear, read it again. If after that, you still want more Zamonien, you can read this. Basically a variation on the same theme, even with an irritating, pompous storyteller (although this one is iriitatingly irritating, not endearingly so like Bluebear). It's scarier though, and it's got some interesting imagery.
Altogether, OK but no highflier. (
