After feeling as though I was well-acquainted with Gaiman’s writing, this certainly proved me wrong.
“Somewhere in the night. Someone was writing.”
This is such a special collection of short stories – something of which I am not all that familiar with, but has certainly encouraged me to read more of.
There was so much mischief, mayhem, and magic from cover to cover. I honestly don’t know what else to say about this read!
A few of my favourite stories were:
- Babycakes
- The Wedding Present
- Changes
- Click Click the Rattlebag
- Excerpt from Stardust
- Don’t Ask Jack
“He lay in a bed that was too small for him, and imagined time as something that pooled and puddled, wondered if there were places where time hung heavy, places where it was heaped and held—cities, he thought, must be filled with time: all the places where people congregated, where they came and brought time with them.”
