I was thrilled to discover a prose story in the Sandman universe. It was fascinating to see how Neil Gaiman delivered a wonderful retelling of a classic Japanese fable and seamlessly injected Morpheus into the tale. As always, Gaiman's wonderful storytelling creates a sense of magic and wonder that propels the story along.
