Publisher Comments:

Fables & Reflections is the sixth volume in the saga of The Sandman.

Follow Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, from the mists of the past to the nightmares of the present as he touches the lives of Haroun Al Raschid, king of ancient Baghdad; Lady Johanna Constantine, spy and adventuress; Joshua Norton, self-styled Emperor of the United States; as well as ravens, actors, explorers, storytellers, werewolves, and children in nine remarkable stories that will take you beyond your wildest imaginings.

Review:

"As rich with potential as L. Frank Baum's Oz....Displays a refreshing amount of wit and compassion." Michael Berry, San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle

Review:

"We don't remember our myths anymore. And what is myth? It's just truth that has happened and that we've forgotten, but that's still happening now....Neil helps us get in touch with our own memories; he opens a window for us to go in and find ourselves." Tori Amos
