Reviews

<i>Sun Herald</i>
'Predominantly dark, the stories are occasionally whimsical and satirical, and at times humorous, but the book's underlying theme is fragility and how people, dreams and hearts are so easily broken'
<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>
'The collection also boasts lush prose...and a winning faith in the enchantment of stories. Expect the unexpected. Then savor the luscious chills.'
<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
'Gaiman has a deft touch for suprise and inventiveness, and there are inspired moments'
Susanna Clarke
'Immensely entertaining ... Combines the anarchy of Douglas Adams with a Wodehousian generosity of spirit'
