A new fairy tale about a young man's hunt for his heart's desire, told in clear, rolling prose
A new fairy tale about a young man's hunt for his heart's desire, told in clear, rolling prose
Charming in every sense of the word, and deeply satisfying
A very fine and imaginative writer
In prose that dances and dazzles, Gaiman describes the indescribable: the eerie colours, ravishing scents and dangerous laughter of Faerie
Like all fairytales, the prose is beautifully simple while the sheer density of the mythology is breathtaking
