Over the past twenty years, Neil Gaiman has developed into the premier fantasist of his generation, achieving that rarest of combinations - unrivalled critical respect and extraordinary commercial success. From the landmark comic book series "The Sandman" to novels such as the "New York Times" bestselling "American Gods" and "Anansi Boys", from children's literature like "Coraline" to screenplays for such films as "Beowulf" and his own "Stardust", Neil Gaiman has developed a fiercely loyal, worldwide following.To comic book fans, he is Zeus in the pantheon of creative gods, having changed that industry forever. To readers, he spans the vast gap that traditionally divides lovers of 'literary' and 'genre' fiction. Neil Gaiman is a pop culture phenomenon touching everything from animation, Japanese anime, the music of Tori Amos, Hollywood cinema, theatre, and everything in between.Now, complete with hours of exclusive interviews with Gaiman and conversations with his collaborators, as well as wonderful nuggets of his work such as rare articles and never-before-published essays, "Prince of Stories" chronicles the history and impact of the complete works of Neil Gaiman in film, fiction, comic books, and beyond. Every tale and character is covered, including Gaiman's comments and thoughts, and the authors present loads of rare comics stories (fully reproduced), book covers, photographs, and related trivia and minutiae, making this a stunningly beautiful book, a terrific holiday gift and a must-have for Gaiman's legion of fans.
