Born in 1960 in Portcheter, England, Neil Gaiman has written quite a lot of things.
His longest work to date is the ten volumes that comprise Sandman, which has won
major awards in Austria, Brazil, England, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain and the United States and several other countries he can't think of offhand.
His novels include Neverwhere (which began life as a TV series, and is soon to be a major
motion picture, because nothing is ever soon to be a minor motion picture), and Stardust (which
won the Mythopoeic Award as best fantasy novel of 1999, and is available in illustrated and unillustrated versions).
Many of his short stories have been collected in Smoke And Mirrors: Short Stories and Illusions. Of his
shorter comics works, he is proudest of Mr. Punch. He is writing a new novel at present. It's
called American Gods.
He has exactly three children, approximately seven cats, and a house that wants to be Gormenghast when it grows up.
He tends to need a haircut. Currently he needs a shave as well.
-- The Dream Hunters; 1999
