Why Art Matters is a cute little collection of essays by Neil Gaiman (two of them originally being speeches) that are presented along side wonderful illustrations by brilliantly talented Chris Riddell.

A collection of four short essay, this book is a perfect ''pick me up'' and ''motivate me to create" nudge that one needs.

My favourite of them all is "Make Good Art". While the essay is great, I'd recommend hearing Neil deliver the speech (which is where the essay is derived from), with his dramatic oratory, it's a delight for mind and soul!
