The main character of “The City of Dreaming Books,” Hildegunst Myphoresus, is a dinosaur. Dying, the literary godfather of Hildegunst Myphoresus leaves the hero ten pages of handwritten text - the best text ever written in this world. The traces of the nameless author are lost in Book Town, and Hildegunst Mythorez goes there to find the mysterious genius and become his student. He does not believe in the old man's stories about Orm - the energy of the stars, if you like, giving inspiration - and, however, without knowing it, he goes in search of Orm.
