Simply a marvelous experience to read this selection from a master of storytelling. The dark, fantastical edge was a pleasure to read and the topics from one story to another range so greatly, while the strength and skill of authorship is unwavering.

As a Neil Gaiman fan, this was a delightful view into his journey s a writer with the added bonus of experiencing the pieces that have most impacted his followers over the years -- and what a variety of types of tales that is. This is also a great book to share with people who have never read him, as there is something here for everyone, nonfiction purists excepted. I loved this read, and will definitely keep it on my shelf to revisit many times in the future.

I had to pause after The Wedding Present, because that completely broke my heart. Carried on 3 years later.. Neil Gaiman does that to you, there is no one like him! ❤️
