Neil Gaiman was born in England but now lives in Minneapolis, in a big house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. His previous books include, NEVERWHERE, SMOKE AND MIRRORS, GOOD OMENS (written with Terry Pratchett) and the New York Times bestseller AMERICAN GODS, which won the Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker, SFX and Locus awards.

'In prose that dances and dazzles, Gaiman describes the indescribable: the eerie colours, ravishing scents and dangerous laughter of Faerie' -- Susanna Clarke
