Why read it?
1 author picked The Sandman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I fell in bittersweet love with the kitsune from Gaiman’s retelling of a classic Japanese tale. A badger and fox wager that they can drive a monk from his temple. The fox turns into a woman to woo him—and falls in love.
The story is haunting, but Amano’s dreamy illustrations make it unforgettable. While the other authors are all Western-raised, this version of kitsune comes to life from a specific Japanese fable and the pen of a Japanese illustrator. A classic not to be missed.
