2001-04-28 Individual stories from the world of The Dreaming

Compared to the others in this series, I was very disappointed in this collection, lacking the depth and emotional involvement I am used to in Gaiman's work. Having said that, its still miles better than a lot of current comic book writing! This volume contains a very nifty tale involving a man searching for inspiration literally finding his Muse, A Dream of A Thousand Cats, which lots of people really love, but I just find sketchy, Facade, where Death makes a welcome appearance and the most complete story, the award winning A Midsummer Night's Dream. This is the tale of Shakespeare's first presentation of his play for a VERY special audience... So, not top-notch Sandman, but if you are a fan, there's a lot you will get out of this.
