| | Neil Gaiman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1989, Gaiman published The Books of Magic (collected in 1991), a four-part mini-series that provided a tour of the mythological and magical parts of the DC Universe through a frame story about an English teenager who discovers that he has a destiny as the world's greatest wizard. | | | McFarlane had also refused to pay Gaiman for the volumes of Gaiman's work he republished and kept in print. | | | The original American Gods blog was extracted for publication in the New England Science Fiction Association Press collection of Gaiman miscellany, Adventures in the Dream Trade. |

| | Comics! Books! Films!: The Many Faces of Neil Gaiman - 7/28/2003 - Publishers Weekly |
| | What Gaiman has written for DC is a comics masterpiece, a book that, in its seven tales, one devoted to each of the Endless, each illustrated by a different artist, demonstrates the enormous range of the comics medium both in content and style. | | | Gaiman informs us that his next novel will be Anansi Boys, set in the world of American Gods but this time with a comedic spin. | | | Gaiman followed American Gods with another shift, his first children's chapter book, Coraline, about a girl trapped in a parallel home with her "other parents," who have buttons for eyes. |

| | Neil Gaiman's Sandman |
| | I particularly liked the tale told by Petrefax, which turned out to be about another time when tales were told, and one of the tellers begins telling a tale about someone telling him a tale. | | | Be sure to keep in mind the context that the very worst Gaiman story (and nothing in SANDMAN represents Gaiman at his worst) still rises head and shoulders above almost all the work in his field. | | | It's a neat trick, a tale within a tale within a tale within a tale, and Gaiman pulls it off with panache. |

| | The combination of that voice, the fact that he is an unabashed "bookie," and is a talented author who is equally at home writing fairy tales, graphic novels, and an hilarious book about the end of the world had me glad I did. | | | Neil: The book that Kim and I did was our very first book. | | | As for Snow White, I was lying in the bath with a book edited by Neil Phillip, called the Penguin Book of English Folktales, which is a collection of about a hundred Gaelic legends, and I was surprised because they presented some stories in ways I hadn't read them before. |

| | Gaiman's latest novel, Anansi Boys, is his best yet; it has already received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Booklist and is poised to win Gaiman an even bigger and more devoted readership than American Gods. | | | Stardust is a nice example because, yes, it's a fairy tale, and nobody really argues about what it is. Occasionally I have to explain to people who think it's a very thin trilogy that, no, it's not a giant fantasy novel that I told very quickly, it's a fairy tale. | | | And it quietly went on, in an incredibly quiet sort of way, to be the bestselling comic of the year. |

| | Gaiman's book, also illustrated by Dave McKean, tells the story of Lucy, a little girl who hears creaking, crumpling noises in the walls and is convinced it is wolves. | | | But Gaiman tells the tale with such a deft touch, spiking the most sombre situations with wit and humour, the whole story goes by in a flash. | | | The skill that Gaiman uses in turning his characters into real people is breathtaking and forces the reader to keep the pages turning as more and more is revealed about the lives of the characters. |

| | CNN.com - Review: Two new Gaiman-ic works - Sep. 17, 2003 |
| | But a new and fine discovery awaits you in "Endless Nights" and "Wolves": Gaiman is also an accomplished alchemist in artistic collaboration, to the point that he'll sometimes allow his meditative texts to take a secondary position to illustration. | | | The devotees have seen the Hugo-winning breadth and profound potential of Gaiman's intelligence in "American Gods." By comparison, this graphic novel, however lavishly it's set out on Vertigo/DC's handsome buffet of these artists' mastery, is literary finger food. | | | • And third, Gaiman is an enviable self-promotionist, keeping his fans informed of his busy doings on his Web site and credited by his faithful Writers House agent, Merrilee Heifetz, for seriously bolstering the success of "American Gods" with his blogging. |

| | American Gods, his internationally best-selling novel, which won the 2002 Bram Stoker Award, Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for best novel, is a dark and kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth and across an America that is at once eerily familiar and utterly alien. | | | Gaiman was born in Portchester, England and now lives in the U.S. An avid reader at an early age, he worked his way through the entire children's section at the local library; when he was done with that, he moved on to the adult section. | | | And at a time when creativity is one of the most valuable assets to any business, Gaiman's mastery of myth and legend and their role in the contemporary world make his work as a writer and speaker unique. |
