Work detailsThe Neil Gaiman Audio Collection by Neil Gaiman
None.  | May 13, 2013 | edit |  This audio book contains four short stories which are read by the author. I really like how Neil tells these stories. My favorite was "The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish". The audio book is only about fifty minutes and wish it was longer. (  ) moonbutterfly | Mar 31, 2013 | A short collection, mostly containing material I've read before (this is some of his children's work). It's a different experience, not having Dave McKean's artwork there, but it does force the brain to pay more attention to the words--which is why I'm not aware that [b:The Wolves in the Walls|22341|The Wolves in the Walls|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167348857s/22341.jpg|2649] and The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish are not just funny, but hilarious. Also, there's a 6-minute track at the end, Neil Gaiman being interviewed by his daughter. The content is a little light (did you always know you wanted to be a writer; what's your favorite of your books; etc), but it's very sweet to listen to. (  ) librarybrandy | Mar 29, 2013 | These are lovely little stories. The child is the center of the universe and the answer to everything, but the stories are fun, imaginative and just a bit twisty. I am now on a quest to own all of Gaiman's audio books, because I could listen to him read the telephone book and it would be good. His voice and inflection are just what is needed to make a story leap into life. There is also a sweet interview of him at the end by his daughter, one of the more intelligent interviews of authors I've heard. (  )1  MrsLee | Dec 27, 2009 | A selection of Neil's children's stories are narrated by himself in this neat audio collection. I enjoyed listening to the stories the way they were meant to be heard and I especially liked the poem "Crazy Hair", which is both surreal and funny.

The Neil Gaiman Audio Collection is a great choice not only for children, but adults too! You're never too old to have someone read you a great story. I know a lot of folks would rather have the print version over the audio because of the illustrations, but I say - why not try both? :) (
