The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables & Reflections by Neil Gaiman

4.0

This is the point in The Sandman series that I had a real sense of the series solidifying - it's being self-referential in a very satisfying way whilst still continuing to be inventive and engaging. Because so many of the stories are rooted in history and myth, they feel ancient and modern at the same time. It's an education as well as entertainment. I particularly enjoyed 'Thermidor', 'The Parliament of Rooks' and 'Ramadan'. Plus the reappearance of G. K. Chesterton (aka 'Fiddlers Green') was a treat!
