Unnatural Creatures [Paperback]

Mas uma obra literária desse grande escritor!

I really enjoyed reading this anthology and would have loved to read a few of the stories aloud to friends. There were so many neat and interesting stories, like the one about griffin, map making wasps, the time-machine and the... horse, and so on. They were connected by a loose theme but were quite different in style and feel, one from the others. I haven't read all of them yet. I ordered about 10 different anthologies at the same time, so I go back and forth, but I think I enjoyed pretty much all of the stories.

Llegó en tiempo y forma. No está nada maltratado y la portada tiene relieves que no me lo esperaba

Good condition

What a fun compendium of fantasy short stories, selected by one of the masters of the genre, Neil Gaiman himself (who also submits a great little tale).What sets this selection apart from so many others is what it's not: It's NOT dark, gritty, "urban" nor a "paranormal romance". Not that there's anything wrong with those, but it's refreshing to read something not aimed at kids which gets outside those current "hot trends".Now, I said "not aimed at kids' but certainly Middle-schoolers and even advanced grade school readers will enjoy this collection, and a parent could supply this without a qualm to such.You have undoubtedly read a couple before, and that's fine as there are many other gems here which have not seen the light of day since first published (I love the Edith Nesbit selection!), others which are recent, and two that are new here.Now, I did say the tales weren't dark & gritty. But come-on, Neil selected them, so yes, they are sometimes more than a little macabre & weird.And what's cool is that your purchase will help nonprofit 826DC, which fosters student writing skills. Fell good by buying, feel better while reading!
