Summary
A captivating collection of fiction from one of the world's most beloved writers, Neil Gaiman, chosen by those who know his work best: his listeners. Introduced with a foreword by Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James.
With a writer as prolific as Neil Gaiman, where do you begin? Or how do you know what to try next? Spanning his career to date, this collection of ambitious, groundbreaking and endlessly imaginative fiction will be your guide.
Curated within this book are nearly 50 of Gaiman's short stories and novellas, interposed with excerpts from his five novels for adults - Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods, Anansi Boys and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
It is both an entryway to his oeuvre and a literary trove Gaiman fans old and new will return to time and again. Start where it suits you. There aren't any rules.

Beautiful Stories
Entertaining and superb storytelling. Each story with its own charm and character. Dark and light.

Mind bending wonders
Short stories tend to leave me wanting more, wishing it was a novel, but they are also a clever idea, a thought experiment not fluffed up with padding. I was often left uncomfortable but never board, always wanting more.

Childhood reinvented
What a treat! A multiverse of takes, fables and glimpses of make-believe worlds you wish you could travel to. If I live to be a grandad one day, there are stories to be draw from to keep them young ones wait for yet another bedtime story.

Amazing collection with great narration by the author
I’ve had American Gods on my shelf for years but never got round to reading it. This was on sale and seemed immense value . Initially was a bit divided on some of the stories but the narration drew me in, reminded me of a non Welsh Jon ronson. Very eclectic collection from horror and humour to whimsy and fantasy. Also liked that a lot of stories set in Scotland or a version of it. Best non Scottish author short story since that Updike one about golf.

I cannot be happier this exists
I've only just gotten into Gaiman's stuff. This could not have come along at a better time. There is something simply special about it. I cannot thank him enough.

Amazing experience
Great stories beautifully narrated. I love Neil Gaiman and his work and this was the perfect companion to many months of commute, the background to many afternoons of work. Totally recommended.

Loved it.
It’s not the first time I’ve read/heard these but it was great to hear them in Neil Gaiman’s own voice and to have a load of good stories together. I think it did indeed contain most of my favourites.
