In the hands of master storyteller Neil Gaiman, magic is more than mere sleight of hand. Ordinary people encounter the extraordinary - a grandmother purchases the Holy Grail at a secondhand shop, assassins advertise in the classifieds, a frightened boy negotiates with a troll under a railway bridge. Gaiman's thirty tales, poems, and short pieces transform the familiar into the unsettling and strange, blending the tangible and the ethereal in a world where anything seems possible.
