This was one set of stories I didn't remember much at all from my reading back when the comics were first published. I tend to prefer the contemporary tales to the historical/mythological ones collected here. These were spread out in the original run, and grouped together they made me anxious to return to the present. Still, they are very good, and I think I appreciate them more now that I'm older. "Ramadan," in particular, is exquisite.

Pitch perfect. If art is a waking dream, this is that dream realized. Best comic book/graphic novel/piece of 'sequential art' I've read, and I've no expectation that I'll change that claim any time soon.

Otra coleccion de historias cortas. Incluso una de las historias cortas es en si una coleccion de historias.
Como siempre ocurre con las historias cortas, algunas son mejores que otras, hay un par que me gustron mucho como la historia sobre Baghdad, o la de los lobos. Otras me dejaron un poco mas indiferente, la de orfeo no es mas que el propio mito.

I love how Gaiman takes us to diferent tales and stories through history and adds the realms of Dream to them.

You shouldn't trust the storyteller; only trust the story.
