   No current Talk conversations about this book. 644  freixas | Mar 31, 2023 |  These are very meaty graphic novels-not the quick snack I make of many others. There were some neat re-tellings of old stories in this one and some that were new to me that I still need to research and figure out if they were just stories I'd never heard or things Gaiman made up. Still gotta go with 4 stars, though, because I just don't love the art. (  ) Harks | Dec 17, 2022 | This volume was a slew of short stories. Good book all together. My favorites were The Parliament of the Rook which had Cain and Abel in it and the long Orpheus storyline. Artwork continues to be great especially with Dream in the sequences. (  ) booklover3258 | Nov 22, 2022 | Probably the weakest collection since the first one. Yet, two stories really stood out for me. The one in Rome with Caesar Augustus, because the story was so damn good. And then there was the last one in the collection, with the best art of the entire Sandman series so far, by the incomparable P. Craig Russell. As far as I'm concerned, he drew the definitive Sandman. Still a good collection, but nothing that truly moved the Sandman mythos forward all that much. ( ) TobinElliott | Sep 3, 2021 | The fonts varied quite a bit in this collection and I found some of them difficult to read. The palette of colours was quite different in the final story, Ramadhan, very bright primary colours like illustrations in a children's story. The longest story, The Song of Orpheus, was also the one I liked best, sticking for the most part to the myth as it has come down to us. ( ) Robertgreaves | Aug 22, 2021 | no reviews | add a review

"The sixth installment of Neil Gaiman's seminal, New York Times best-selling series celebrates its 30th anniversary with an all-new edition, featuring a new cover from artist Dave McKean! Fables and Reflections continues the fantastical epic of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, as he observes and interacts with an odd assortment of historical and fictional characters throughout time. Featuring tales of kings, explorers, spies and werewolves, this book of myth and imagination delves into the dark dreams of Augustus Caesar, Marco Polo, Cain and Abel, Norton I and Orpheus to illustrate the effects that these subconscious musings have had on the course of history and mankind."-- No library descriptions found.
