What if you wanted your best friend's two goldfish so much that you'd swap anything for them, even your father?

About The Author
Novelist Neil Gaiman has sent a British businessman tumbling into a fantastic underworld and had a devil and angel comically conspiring to thwart the Apocalypse. He found his biggest success, though, in Death, Dreams and Destruction -- and the four other similarly named siblings who controlled the reins of the human race's emotional impulses in his graphic-novel series The Sandman, a wholesale rejuvenation of graphic fiction that had everyone from Tori Amos to Norman Mailer spinning with, yes, Delirium.
Industry Reviews
"Delightful." -- Time Out New York Kids

"McKean is in peak form here, with dark, spiky graphics that somehow manage to convey both sweetness and menace." -- Washington Post
"An energetic, eye-catching volume." -- Publishers Weekly
"Leave it to Neil Gaiman to write a zany tale that's swimmingly good." -- The Washington Missourian
