No matter how desolate or bland, he always manages to fill it with a sense of wonder and beauty. I wasn't, however, quite so impressed with the story-poems, which struck me more like prose with awkwardly placed line breaks. I also wish I'd known so many of the stories would be from collections devoted to authors I've never read, such as H.P. Lovecraft. But that's okay. Maybe someday, after I've read some of those stories, I'll come back and reread these. Speaking of rereading, the final two stories, "Murder Mysteries" and "Snow, Glass, Apples", I'd heard before on Two Plays for Voices. They're much easier to follow in prose form. All in all, I think I prefer the other Gaiman I've read. (  ) melydia | Oct 28, 2009 | D-I like this book very much. I might even love it... Let me think about it some more. (  ) bramon | Oct 12, 2009 | The title is quite apt, short prose and poetry give but a glimpse of something, an illusion of a different world. I've always loved short story anthologies, and it's a great treat when they all come from an author whose stories I always find somewhat refreshing. This collection was everything I wanted and more. Every story was something unique with something to appeal to all sorts of literary types as long as they have a taste for the slightly fantastical. An old woman finding the holy grail, Snow White being not nearly as pure as she seems, a cat who can hold off the devil: all this and more can be found within these pages. Simply an enchanting read. (  ) Alera | Aug 25, 2009 | I have never been a fan of short stories, but there are a few good ones here. My favourite was "Chivalry", with "Murder Mysteries" and "Snow, Glass, Apples" also deserving a mention. ( ) hyper7 | Jul 29, 2009 |  sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The only downside to this book for me were the stories told in "poetic" form, but that's a matter of personal taste. (
