One might call this book a small jewel, but in fact it's much bigger within than it looks from the outside., Wistful, witty, wise--and creepy. This needs to be read by anyone who is or has ever been a child., Lucid, evocative prose and dark fairy-tale motifs imbue the story with a dreamlike quality. ...this ghost-story-cum-coming-of-age-novel as readable as it is accomplished., "I wish my younger self could have had the opportunity to read and re-read this wonderful book, and my older self wishes that I had written it."

In this novel of wonder, Neil Gaiman follows in the footsteps of long-ago storytellers, weaving a tale of unforgettable enchantment., This is, quite frankly, the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written.

One of Gaiman's Best
This book is incredibly well-written, as are all of Gaiman's books. His editing, tone, vocabulary, and syntax are superb. This particularly book is clean of any offensive content, making it perfect for any age. The story is mature without being inappropriate and has that air of supernatural macabre for which Gaiman is known. The story teaches good lessons about love, friendship, family, and loyalty. I would recommend it for ages 8+.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
