Neil Gaiman Collection - 5 books

Blending science fiction, fairy tales and mystery with rich, imaginative storytelling, the five books in this collection are among Gaiman’s most iconic. All five novels transcend genres, combining the everyday with hidden worlds that can be underground, over the ancient town walls or in a neighbour’s pond. Slipcased.

Stardust
