"Once upon a time, in an ice-cream-colored realm, there lived a tiny princess named Delirium..."

And so starts the very endearing story of the youngest of Gaiman's The Endless who thought that she has "losted" her puppy Barnabas or as she is now calling him: "Mr. Losty MacLosty".

If you're a Deliriophile, this will rock your candy-colored inside-out boat made of popsicle sticks as you try out words that are "particularly crispy on the tongue, like twinkle and citrus."

Barnabas started searching for little Del and his search for her leads him to the realms of her siblings, who award him with vague advice and a charm from each of them.

The story is funny and appealing in itself, yet it incorporates enough insider jokes to gratify Sandman fans. Jill Thompson has managed to stay true to the feeling of the world of the Sandman comics, but at the same time produce a warm, cute fairy tale. A few pages at the end of the book are dedicated to explaining how the stories came about and relaying a few tidbits about the Little Endless dolls and figures.

If you're a Sandman fan, you have to read this. Illustrations and storytelling are excellent. Hurrah for talent like Ms. Thompson's! ( )

A wonderful addition to the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. I doubt that readers unfamiliar with the Endless will get as much as out of it as the ones who do because there are no explanations about the "people" appearing in the story. Which is good in my opinion.
Thompson's drawings are beautiful and unique and the story revolving around Barnabas and Delirium is entertaining and funny.
I wish I could draw like that... ( )
