been revised by another writer), who is probably still best known for the apparently seminal Sandman graphic novels, as well as his Terry Pratchett collaboration Good Omens. The fact that Gaiman, a massively respected writer in his own right, agreed to do the book is a measure of the importance of Douglas Adams to Literature, the Universe and Everything. The book moves roughly chronologically through Adams s life and career, from his childhood as a Doctor Who fan, an adolescence tempered by dreams of rock stardom and beyond. The story doesn t stop with the ridiculous sums of money generated by the Hitch-Hiker s Guide to the Galaxy phenomenon, and chapters are also ...

Sandman: Preludes & Nocturnes - Neil Gaiman

Preludes and Nocturnes is the first of ten volumes in Neil Gaiman s much acclaimed Sandman series. It follows the personification of Dream as he is captured by mortals, escapes and searches for his personal artefacts that compliment his power. Overall I found this book to be a very easy read.

The story is great, but without the excellent artwork it wouldn t be nearly as compelling. The main character is The Sandman, or Dream, and throughout this book it becomes very clear that though he ...
