The sixteen stories gathered by Gaiman, winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, range from the whimsical to the terrifying. Magical creatures from the werewolf, to the sunbird, to beings never before classified will thrill, delight, and quite possibly unnerve you in tales by E. Nesbit, Diana Wynne Jones, Gahan Wilson, and other literary luminaries.

Anyone who enjoys Neil Gaiman will enjoy this work. This is a collection of short stories with tidbits from Gaiman on each story, including personal experiences with the various authors. I found authors I had read before and other I hadn't. I really enjoyed most of the works, especially "The Sage of Theare" by Diana Wynne Jones. This story is geared to a young reader, but offers thought provoking philosophies, including questioning social norms in government and religion. I like giving books with multiple authors to my nieces, nephews and friends' kids. It gives them the opportunity to make their own choices in writers. I discovered Edgar Allan Poe this way when I was 10 years old. I own all his works now.
