編輯推薦

適讀人群 ：8-12歲
A modern master of fantasy has selected nine of his short stories and a poem and added a segment from an upcoming children's title for this volume, appropriately titled in homage to a past master, Ray Bradbury. Leading off with a classic detective story involving nursery rhyme characters, Gaiman continues down familiar but twisted paths. There's a scary jack-in-the-box and a troll under a bridge. A rogue describes a perfect scam. A black cat fends off the devil; the eaters of a phoenix discover that it burns. There are stories about talking with girls, with ghosts, with knights in armor, and with aliens. Finally, Gaiman concludes with instructions for proper behavior in fairy-tale land. Although all but "The Witch's Headstone" have appeared elsewhere, this well-chosen collection is sure to create a new generation of Gaiman fans who will not need to understand all the allusions to enjoy the stories. Danish comic-book artist Kristiansen, no stranger to Gaiman material, will be providing the illustrations.

Taking both inspiration and naming convention from Ray Bradbury's R Is for Rocket and S Is for Space, Gaiman's first YA anthology is a fine collection of previously published short stories. Although Gaiman's prose skill has improved markedly since the earliest stories included here, one constant is his stellar imagination, not to mention his knack for finding unexpected room for exploration in conventional story motifs. Jill Dumpty, sister of the late Humpty, hires a hard-boiled detective to look into her brother's tragic fall; the 12 months of the year sit around in a circle, telling each other stories about the things they've seen; an elderly woman finds the Holy Grail in a flea market and takes it home because of how nice it will look on her mantelpiece. Collectors will be pleased to note the inclusion of several stories that were previously published in the now-hard-to-find collection Angels & Visitations. Also of note is fan favorite How to Talk to Girls at Parties, which has been nominated for a Hugo Award for 2007. Though Gaiman is still best known for his groundbreaking Sandman comic book epic, this volume is an excellent reminder of his considerable talent for short-form prose.

內容簡介

Master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a breathtaking collection of tales for younger readers that may chill or amuse, but that always embrace the unexpected:

Humpty Dumpty's sister hires a private detective to investigate her brother's death.
A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery, and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

1960年，尼爾·蓋曼齣生在英國漢普郡。在擁有獨特幽默感和濃鬱魔幻氛圍的英國，尼爾·蓋曼不可救藥地喜歡上瞭J.R.R·托爾金和C.S·劉易斯筆下的奇幻世界，成為鐵杆科幻迷。他夢想成為作傢，但也和許多孩子一樣，他沒有為此付齣任何行動。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

為瞭賺錢謀生，尼爾·蓋曼同時給多傢雜誌寫稿。一次，為瞭能買一颱打字機，他甚至答應給樂隊寫傳記，結果書齣版後自己“再也不想多看一眼”。雖然此書寫得不錯，第一次印刷就銷售一空，但尼爾·蓋曼卻因為做瞭自己不感興趣的事而懊悔。“從此我告訴自己，不要再為錢做事，而要為興趣做事。”

評分☆☆☆☆☆

Neil Gaiman 的書，很好看，適閤12歲左右孩子看，男孩可能更閤適！

評分☆☆☆☆☆

尼爾·蓋曼在一次訪談中說：“我20歲齣頭，遇到瞭一個漆黑漫長的深夜，是那種你一生中隻會遇到一兩次的、連靈魂都隨之黯淡的夜晚。我睡不著覺，腦袋裏始終在想，‘我能寫齣好東西，但卻完全沒有嘗試’。這還不算糟，更糟的是再過五六十年，我可能會奄奄一息地躺在病床上，還在對自己說：‘我本可以成為一個作傢’。到那時，我都不知道這是不是在撒謊。”
