description: A collection of stories written and read by Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Neil Gaiman:A Writer’s Prayer "was written shortly before I began American Gods. I knew the first two verses when I began it, and the conclusion was there when I reached it. This is why I love writing."Harlequin Valentine "was originally written as a short story. Lisa Snellings made a Ferris Wheel with strange creatures in each car, and writers wrote stories, one for each character. I was given the showman, a little Harlequin who took people’s tickets."Boys and Girls Together "was written in a hotel room in Boston. It rained outside, and I was certain I was telling the world something very important."The Wedding Present "is a story hidden in my book of short stories, Smoke and Mirrors. Some people who have copies of Smoke and Mirrors have skipped past it, and do not know that it was there. Do not tell them."The End "is the kind of thing I find on my hard disk from time to time – small, gentle apocalypses that I do not quite remember writing."
