Written by: Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell
First line: I know not whether you came to me or I to you.
Why you should read this book: This book is pretty much exactly the same as the first Dream Hunters book, except that it's done in the style of a traditional graphic novel, with comic panels and word bubbles, and there's less text than in the first one. It's still the story of the surprising love between a monk and a fox spirit, both of whom appeal to the Dream King and make the ultimate sacrifice for each other. Also, in this this volume, Gaiman admits that he wrote the story himself and didn't adapt it from an ancient Japanese text, which had apparently been confusing scholars for a while.
Why you shouldn't read this book: I could say that it doesn't make sense out of the context of all the other Sandman books, but actually, it works fine as a stand-alone story.
