    The Noir/ Mother Goose mashup is a dud (to me). Sunbird is my favorite out of the book.

    Not only was the music distracting, it was loud. Spoken words were sometimes whispered so I had to adjust volume to hear. The stories were not if good quality the first one being overly cutesy others said and depressing. I don't recommend and I won't reread

    the long plays between of music was horrid

    What made the experience of listening to M is for Magic the most enjoyable?

    Neil Gaiman is the best storyteller of the twenty-first century. He is always a joy to read and listen to. The only thing better than reading Neil Gaiman is hearing Neil Gaiman read his own work.

    Neil Gaiman is always magic

    Great stories by one of the best modern authors. The writing style is outstanding as always, and the narration is spot on.

    great short stories

    Although I would not classify these as “children’s” tales, I still loved the eerie Storting telling by Neil Gaiman and the short stories we were able to have here. Each one very different yet somehow still the authors style.

    Amazing author, wonderful tales

    this collection of short stories is wonderful for all ages; I liked most of the stories very much, and I really do like the reading by Mr. Gaiman; he really makes the stories come alive; I can imagine him telling them to his children the same way; really a nice little romp in fantasy; not too dreadful, and some very funny; great fun; not really what I think of as a children's book.

    great for all ages

    I found this collection of short stories very 'hit or miss'- I either really liked the story or really didn't, and not being a fan of Jazz music I really wasn't impressed with the Jazz interludes that separated every story (I wish they'd have been sectioned as 'chapters' so that I could just click past them). Neil Gaiman does his usual great job of narrating- except in the first selection where he tries to put on a fake accent (think film noir detective) and fails miserably. Most of the stories have some adult content (language or situations) but nothing too graphic. While Gaiman claims that collections such as Bradbury's "R is for Rocket" were inspirations for his "M is for Magic" this series is not written for the same age range as Bradbury's. That said, as I am a big fan of Neil Gaiman, I'm glad I purchased this audiobook and will undoubtedly listen to some of the selections over and over (I especially enjoyed "Chivalry" and "The Price").

    not for children
