Publisher's Summary
A captivating collection of fiction from one of the world's most beloved writers, Neil Gaiman, chosen by those who know his work best: his listeners. Introduced with a foreword by Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James.
With a writer as prolific as Neil Gaiman, where do you begin? Or how do you know what to try next? Spanning his career to date, this collection of ambitious, groundbreaking and endlessly imaginative fiction will be your guide.
Curated within this book are nearly 50 of Gaiman's short stories and novellas, interposed with excerpts from his five novels for adults - Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods, Anansi Boys and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
It is both an entryway to his oeuvre and a literary trove Gaiman fans old and new will return to time and again. Start where it suits you. There aren't any rules.

I cannot be happier this exists
I've only just gotten into Gaiman's stuff. This could not have come along at a better time. There is something simply special about it. I cannot thank him enough.

Amazing experience
Great stories beautifully narrated. I love Neil Gaiman and his work and this was the perfect companion to many months of commute, the background to many afternoons of work. Totally recommended.

Absolutely brilliant.
Neil Gaiman is a fantastic narrator as well as author. His stories take you to amazing places, dark places, weird places you never thought you'd go. would highly recommend to anyone just getting into his work or even if you were already a fan, such as myself, just to hear the stories read by the man himself.

Intriguing and delightful range of stories
I really enjoy Neil Gaiman's style of storytelling, and the way he weaves his worlds. Hard to describe really, but I found pretty much all the stories in the collection enchanting and interesting in their own ways.
Narration by the author was a delight as always.
If you have read / listened to Fragile Things then some of the stories will be familiar, but it's not necessarily a bad thing to repeat them, and there are enough different stories that I'd still recommend this collection even if you have read fragile things or another collection recently.
