Another Gaiman kid's book which I found a lot more enjoyable than most the others by him I've read so far. I can imagine that this would actually be great for a kid. Also, it has Dave McKean's beautifully idiosyncratic illustrations. (

I didn't know this book existed until I was listening to an author interview by Gaiman at the end of Stardust. The art is unique, and I loved the twist at the end. (

Иллюстрации роскошные. Увы, читал в переводе, он так себе. (
