Jane's review
The Sandman Vol. 6: Fables and Reflections by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads author!)
This volume is another series of seemingly self-contained stories within the Sandman-verse. As the author's notes and dedication stated, Nine short stories for nine people. Fables and Reflections is more engaging than Dream Country, the other volume of short stories, but I guess that's due to me being more interested in arcs centering around history or rather, mythology. Not that all nine stories are set in the past/ancient history. I also have to admit that I was charmed by Joshua Norton, the self-styled emperor of the United States, and by Abel's story of him and his brother, Cain, and how they came to work for Dream (Chibis of Dream & Death! Nothing are more adorable.).
