There is just something about Gaiman's writing that is an excellent blend of beautiful prose and 'wtf is going on?' - whatever it is, I found myself really loving this mysteriously magical story. The illustrated edition is gorgeous and adds just the right about of whimsy and darkness to enhance the story.
