Reviews
[Gaiman] is a one-man story engine. . . . FRAGILE THINGS is a delightful compendium . . . [Gaiman] is indeed a national treasure., "Dazzling tales from a master of the fantastic." -- Washington Post Book World "The tales of Fragile Things are nibbles and bits of Gaiman's immensely satisfying inner landscape. They are fiercely playful and very grim, wisps of whimsy and wonder buoyed by the happy heart of a tragic poet." -- USA Today "Neil Gaiman at his unique best is terrific . . . compelling and dreamy . . . Readers will be reminded most in these stories of that master craftsman yet to be superseded, Ray Bradbury." -- Baltimore Sun "Think of it as a month with Scheharazade . . . No Gaiman fan can be without [Fragile Things] . . . If you've never encountered Gaiman's unique voice before, this volume is an excellent introduction, with easily digestible stories that can be devoured in one sitting. Still, you may find yourself gorging at this narrative feast, not stopping until you've read two or three or even half a dozen at a time." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Charming, at times creepy, and good fun. . . . Well-worth adding to any collection; highly recommended." -- Library Journal "A prodigiously imaginative collection . . . The best of these clever fantasy metafictions explore the mysteries of artistic inspiration." -- New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice "Strange, or sweet, or eerie, or heartfelt stories . . . wonderfully peculiar . . . Gaiman relishes the sacred act of telling stories." -- Entertainment Weekly "A powerful and oddly unified collection, a perfect introduction to Gaiman's work for new readers and a thrilling reminder to his long-time fans . . . [T]he shorter prose form allows Gaiman a greater freedom of whimsy and provocation than even his graphic work, with stunning results." -- Toronto Star "Those with a taste for inventive idiosyncracy will find themselves fully rewarded." -- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "One delight after another." -- Booklist (starred review) "Lush prose...and a winning faith in the enchantment of stories. Expect the unexpected. Then savor the chills." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "FRAGILE THINGS is a delightful compendium...[Gaiman] is indeed a national treasure." -- Washington Post Book World "Fiercely playful and very grim, wisps of whimsy and wonder buoyed by the happy heart of a tragic poet." -- USA Today "Readers will be reminded most in these stories of that master craftsman...Ray Bradbury...Gothic tales of high caliber." -- Baltimore Sun "A prodigiously imaginative collection...The best of these clever fantasy metafictions explore the mysteries of artistic inspiration." -- New York Times Book Review, Think of it as a month with Scheharazade . . .

- _***a (30)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem arrived definitely not in the “very good” condition that was described. This could easily be attributed to extremely poor packing. (Wrapping a thin hardcover book in nothing but a plastic shipping bag is just asking for it to get bent.) However, seller was fast to ship, responsive to communication, and offered a fair settlement and/or refund without trouble. So it was still an overall positive experience.

Reasonably priced. A real bargain. What more could I ask for? Without question, I would definitely buy from this seller again.
