M is for Magic

M Is for MagicA new twist on old, favourite nursery rhymes is the next stop on my Neil Gaiman marathon. Ever wonder what really happened to Humpty Dumpty, like how he really fell off that wall and why the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put him back together again? How about who the troll under the bridge is? Were you ever afraid of the jack-in-the-box found amongst your toys, maybe you should be? The way that Neil Gaiman is able to evoke a chuckle or a shiver is evident again in his writing of these short stories. With eleven short tales full of fun in this collection with one for everyone I give it a giant thumbs up.

Here's a list of the short stories found in M is for Magic:
The Case of the Four and Twenty Blackbirds
Troll Bridge
Don't Ask Jack
How to Sell the Ponti Bridge
October in the Chair
Chivalry
The Price
How to Talk to Girls at Parties
Sunbird
The Witch's Headstone
Instructions
Neil Gaiman
