I love Neil Gaiman, and while this was not the first time reading many of these stories, I still enjoyed them the second time around.
A great little anthology by my favourite author.
I have seen some people disappointed that this was not a children's book ... so just be aware I would say this is geared to adults

Short stories are always a mixed bag, but after reading a couple collections, I've come to the conclusion that although I really like his novels, I don't care for Gaiman's short stories.
I love Neil Gaiman. These stories are weird, creepy, and well written. It's a perfect book to read in October.
I just do not enjoy short stories unless they are about characters I already know about.

Good little short story collection. Wasn't 100% for me. It was meant as a child story collection though so there is that. Some of the standout stories for me was the case of before and 20 blackbirds, troll bridge, the price, and sunbird. All in all nice short/quick read.
While I didn't love all these stories, I was impressed by Gaiman's versatility.
