(A Brief Biography)

.

The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. In recent years, he has come to be recognized as one of the great master of the modern fantasy and science fiction and one of the grandfathers of the Western graphic novel. Beginning as a writer of comic books, Gaiman’s considerable talents soon branched out, and he moved on to write several brilliantly acclaimed novels, short stories, and children’s books. The unique style he brought to these media would not only secure his place as one of the most eclectic and talented storytellers of our time, but also challenge the standards and conceptions of the literary world.
