Reviews

I've been a fan since the 80's. Prose that's poetry, sharp tales, stark characters, and his Norse retellings are better than mine, Neil Gaiman Crossley-Holland is a master, a magician and commander of the language, the roots of whose work are deeply entwined with ancient patterns of truth and knowledge. I salute and venerate him, Philip Pullman
