This is a sweet little book that serves as a reminder of how we should cultivate curiosity and wonder. ( )

Haphazard & whimsical. The drawings were fine but the text seemed very random ( )

Gaiman's short fiction rarely works for me, so the general meh of this one was no surprise.
Illustrations are great though; they are the main reason for the rating. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
This one is for Terri Windling, for going on ahead and illuminating the twisting path through the wild wood. —CV

For Ellen Kushner & Delia Sherman, for coming back and telling us what they found. —NG
First words
Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before,
Quotations
Do not be jealous of your sister:
know that diamonds and roses
are as uncomfortable when they tumble from one's lips as toads and frogs:
colder, too, and sharper, and they cut.
