适读人群 ：8-12岁
A modern master of fantasy has selected nine of his short stories and a poem and added a segment from an upcoming children's title for this volume, appropriately titled in homage to a past master, Ray Bradbury. Leading off with a classic detective story involving nursery rhyme characters, Gaiman continues down familiar but twisted paths. There's a scary jack-in-the-box and a troll under a bridge. A rogue describes a perfect scam. A black cat fends off the devil; the eaters of a phoenix discover that it burns. There are stories about talking with girls, with ghosts, with knights in armor, and with aliens. Finally, Gaiman concludes with instructions for proper behavior in fairy-tale land. Although all but "The Witch's Headstone" have appeared elsewhere, this well-chosen collection is sure to create a new generation of Gaiman fans who will not need to understand all the allusions to enjoy the stories. Danish comic-book artist Kristiansen, no stranger to Gaiman material, will be providing the illustrations.

Taking both inspiration and naming convention from Ray Bradbury's R Is for Rocket and S Is for Space, Gaiman's first YA anthology is a fine collection of previously published short stories. Although Gaiman's prose skill has improved markedly since the earliest stories included here, one constant is his stellar imagination, not to mention his knack for finding unexpected room for exploration in conventional story motifs. Jill Dumpty, sister of the late Humpty, hires a hard-boiled detective to look into her brother's tragic fall; the 12 months of the year sit around in a circle, telling each other stories about the things they've seen; an elderly woman finds the Holy Grail in a flea market and takes it home because of how nice it will look on her mantelpiece. Collectors will be pleased to note the inclusion of several stories that were previously published in the now-hard-to-find collection Angels & Visitations. Also of note is fan favorite How to Talk to Girls at Parties, which has been nominated for a Hugo Award for 2007. Though Gaiman is still best known for his groundbreaking Sandman comic book epic, this volume is an excellent reminder of his considerable talent for short-form prose.

内容简介

Master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a breathtaking collection of tales for younger readers that may chill or amuse, but that always embrace the unexpected:

Humpty Dumpty's sister hires a private detective to investigate her brother's death.
A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery, and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.

很喜欢这本小书，非常有意思

为了赚钱谋生，尼尔·盖曼同时给多家杂志写稿。一次，为了能买一台打字机，他甚至答应给乐队写传记，结果书出版后自己“再也不想多看一眼”。虽然此书写得不错，第一次印刷就销售一空，但尼尔·盖曼却因为做了自己不感兴趣的事而懊悔。“从此我告诉自己，不要再为钱做事，而要为兴趣做事。”

评分☆☆☆☆☆

1996年，《睡魔》第19期《仲夏夜之梦》，更是将莎士比亚编进故事情节——讲述了摩尔甫斯与莎士比亚相遇，并达成合作关系的有趣故事。这期故事为尼尔·盖曼赢得了世界奇幻奖——他人生中的第一个文学奖项。很快，他的作品几乎囊括了美国所有的文学奖项。

粗粗翻看，插图很可爱

也许有人说，作家应该按照一种风格长期写下去，写得越深入，越容易出成绩。但尼尔·盖曼不愿意这样做。在深度和趣味之间，他选择了趣味。从单纯的漫画编剧到涉足科幻小说、恐怖小说、儿童小说、歌曲创作等多个领域。看似冒风险的转变，对于尼尔·盖曼而言，“想法由来已久”。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

莎士比亚是尼尔·盖曼的文学导师之一。在他的很多作品里，都可以看到莎士比亚的痕迹。在后来创作的《蜘蛛男孩》里，不仅有大段关于哈姆雷特的描述，而且主人公不止一次被用来和麦克白做比较。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

这正是尼尔·盖曼求之不得的，“不像”，是因为有新的进步。

写书就像开饭馆
