In this collection of wonderful stories, which range between fantasy, humour,
science fiction and a sprinkling of horror, the reader will relish the range
and skill of Neil Gaiman’s writing. Be prepared to laugh at the detective story
about Humpty Dumpty’s demise, spooked by the sinister jack-in -the-box who
haunts the lives of the children who own it, and intrigued by the boy who is
raised by ghosts in a graveyard in this collection of bite-sized narrative
pleasures.
