Publisher's Synopsis
A great starting point for students seeking an introduction to Neil Gaiman and the critical discussions surrounding his work.
One of the most prolific and award-winning writers of prose spanning comics and graphic novels to feature-length films and television serials, Neil Gaiman is as popular with critics as he is with readers. The essays in this volume trace the work of the author from the little-known comic, The Sandman, through The Graveyard Book and look at his novels for adults and children.
Each essay is 2,500 to 5,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of ""Works Cited,"" along with endnotes. Finally, the volume's appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources:
- A chronology of the author's life
- A complete list of the author's works and their original dates of publication
- A general bibliography
- A detailed paragraph on the volume's editor
- Notes on the individual chapter authors
- A subject index
