London, BBC, 1996. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. The author's first novel, a novelisation of the BBC series he created with Lenny Henry. A little wear to the edges and corners, slight reading lean, price-clipped, small scuff to the endpaper from an earlier price. Neil Gaiman (1960-) is a prolific writer mostly in the field of fantasy. He is one of the most prominent writers in the genre, having had his works adapted for many different media. He is also heavily involved in the comics business.
