Summary of this Book...
This is a collection of short stories by a masterful writer. It has a little bit of everything, from horror, to fantasy, and as the title suggests, even some magic. Stephen King said of Neil Gaiman, "He is a treasure-house of story, and we are luck to have him."
This type of Book is good for...
If you enjoy a short story right before going to bed, then this book is for you!
I especially liked...
The final story in the book, 'Snow, glass, and apples'. A delightful read about a princess who has to live with, and then get rid of, her evil stepdaughter.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Immediately go out and get another of his books. In fact, I already did. My next read is 'American Gods',
The author of this Book...
Neil Gaiman is a very diverse writer who has been writing for decades and has numerous awards for his stories, including the Hugo, The Bram Stoker Award, The Nebula, and Locus Awards.
I recommend this Book because...
If you are reader of fantasy or horror or just plain well written prose, then Neil Gaiman is the one you should read.
Further Comments...
I was surprised by the diverse stories in this book. He truly has a 'voice' of his own, and it's no wonder he has won as many awards as he has.
He's sure up there on my favorite authors list!
