 ... dour and sulky individual, called as much by his siblings. Gaiman gives Morpheus a tragically heroic aspect - he is imprisoned by the duties he has to fulfil, describing himself as a servant of humanity, not a master. This becomes evermore important as you work your way through the volumes of 'The Sandman'. We are then introduced to two more of Morpheus' siblings (having met Death in the last volume). Desire and Despair are another of Gaiman's grotesque double acts. Whereas Dream and Death strive to bring order...more

The Doll's House is the second volume of Neil Gaiman's 'Sandman' series. It follows Preludes and Nocturnes and comes before Dream Country. You don't need to know this, but it took me ages to read them in the right order and I think it's better when you do. Once again, there are seperate stories linked with a through-plot.
