The final short story collection in my illness recovery programme is not a set of stories from a larger universe. It is a slim volume of miscellaneous stories by Neil Gaiman called M is for Magic. I have read or heard all these stories before. More heard than read actually because many have been published as part of audio books already or in one case I heard it live from Neil. Yet that didn't matter at all - every one of the stories is worth repeating.

It is a small book with big print but it isn't just a matter of trying to stretch a small offering. The format is one used for younger audiences. If you were ever looking for the perfect example of a book "for the young of all ages" or some such cliché then this is the one. It really does the whole sense of wonder with a sense of humour really well. Just magic.
