Second in the fantasy trilogy set in “a magical world, magically presented . . . Having journeyed there, you will not wish to leave, nor ever forget” (Philip K. Dick).

Jonathan Bing, Master Cheeser, has been growing a bit bored in Twombly Town. So it’s no surprise that when Professor Wurzle suggests a trip downriver, Jonathan jumps at the chance. A visit to the Evil Dwarf Selznak’s abandoned castle leads to a treasure hunt but also to the discovery that Jonathan’s old friend the Squire has vanished, and that Selznak may be involved.

Jonathan—accompanied by his wonderpooch Ahab, the Professor, and Miles the Magician—will have to set off to darkest Balumnia, to the city of Landsend, to find the treasure and the Squire. And to make matters worse, Selznak will be there, too . . .

The delightful sequel to The Elfin Ship by World Fantasy and Philip K. Dick Award–winner James P. Blaylock, The Disappearing Dwarf was first published in 1983.

“If you have any love for Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows, or mouth-watering descriptions of all sorts of food and drink, then these books are for you . . . It’s filled with Blaylock’s nearly trademarked bits of whimsy . . . and characters driven by strange monomanias.” —Black Gate

Disappointing read after The Elfin Ship

Reviewed in the United States on 27 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Tried to like this second in the series book but found it much less readable than the first Novel The Elfin Ship. The first novel I consider a delightful classic that I have re-read many times. The Disappearing Dwarf I still have not been able to finish reading after some time. The characters have no dimension in it unlike the first book.

no clever name

brilliant fantasy

After many years and readings, I had to replace my paperback version. So I was delighted to see this as an ebook. This is a classic fantasy that ranks at the top along with Tolkein, Carroll, Lewis, and all the other great fabulists. Deceptively simple and enjoyable with a gentle, wry humor that laughs at all too common foibles. One more round with the proofreader would be nice though. There's just enough typos in the ebook version to throw off easy reading.

Jonathon Bing, the Master Cheeser is at it again. Making cheese is important business but so is saving the world. Full of adventure, mystery, and humor, this sequal to the "Elfin Ship" is a must. You think of your children and future children when you read this. It can be hard enough to find, that I bought extra copies of the 2 books to save for my son at 5 years old. He will thank me for them someday. This book has true flavor and charm, very unlike the factory mass made fantasy that is available now. This book had me grinning from ear to ear while reading it.

This book is the sequel to the 'Elfin Ship'. It has the Same bunch of zany and lovable characters as the first book, 'The Elfin Ship', plus a bunch more new characters who are just as zany and crazy. Very enjoyable to continue the adventures of Mr. Bing Cheeser, Dooley and company.

Loved this book

Reviewed in the United States on 22 February 2014

The Elfin Ship and The Disappearing Dwarf have been two of my all time favorite novels for as far back as I can remember. There are very few books that had me in stitches laughing myself stupid, and this one and The Elfin Ship are at the top of the list. The world Blaylock created, the characters, the insane situations and conversations paint a picture of a place I'd dearly love to inhabit. I re-read both novels every few years, and being able to get them both on Kindle has been wonderful, now I no longer have to worry about tattered pages, or losing them ever again.
