A wonderful story filled with dark fantasy and magic, The Thief of Always follows a young boy as he is lured to a mysterious house, which at first seems to be like a dream, but soon turns into a slowly simmering nightmare. Filled with both chilling and gentle characters and creatures, and weaving through a thrilling and often moving plot, The Thief of Always is a classic that not enough people are familiar with.
Grrr! Why does Oprah have to slap her name on all the significant literary works!?! Read it.... and not because O told you to.
I have yet to read a book with Neil Gaiman's name on the front that I didn't love, whether he's the author, editor, or just giving a plug for a book. There were two tales in Stories that I didn't care too much for (one was so mannered I couldn't finish it) but the rest I loved. A great mixture of styles and themes.
Wonderful. My children learned to share willingly after this story
