The following YouTube of Neil Gaiman reading came to my on my MySpace from Melissa Marr, who writes amazing faery tales (her latest:  Ink Exchange, her first:  Wicked Lovely).  Melissa also happens to own one of my torsos, which is how I found her and her writing.

I love faery/fairy/good tales.  They tell us som much about life.  And Neil Gaiman is a spectacular writer.  I came to his writing with American Gods and later Anansi Boys.  He has a great talent for updating the "old" gods and goddesses. 

Here he is reading a poem.  Until this I had never had the opportunity to read his poetry, or hear it.  He is a great reader.  Close your eyes and listen.

   Tammy, thanks sooooooooooooooooooooo much for sharing this, I just sat and shut my eyes and listened and it transported me someone else, into this little house and I saw all the creatures and witches and princesses and frogs I remember from the many fairytales I read:)
   Made my day.
   And: Neil Gaiman seems very funny, talented and handsome:) Thanks for introducing him,
   love
   Andrea
