This collection of short tales explores historical figures from Augustus Caesar to Marco Polo, from The Arabian Nights to Revolutionary France. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A must-own book (treat it as a stand-alone!)Fables and Reflections is a collection of the 'throw-away' one-off stories that Gaiman mixed in with the rest of the Sandman series. As such, this volume makes an excellent stand-alone read. No other knowledge of the Sandman mythos or storyline is necessary - this is a short story collection for comic book lovers. I would even go further and say that two of the stories in here are so brilliant that they aren't just for comic book lovers - "Three Septembers and a January" ...

It's a collection of eight separate stories of varying lengths, almost all with an historical connection. (To more or less real people, that is.) And there's no frame story for a change. "Three Septembers and a January" is a lovely piece about Emperor Norton, the deluded mascot of San Francisco for several decades in the 19th century, while "Thermidor" is a somewhat less successful piece about Lady Johanna Constantine and her search for the living ... Read More Rating:  - Graphic SF ReaderThis is perhaps the least interesting of the Sandman volumes so far, with each issue a different story of someone affected in one way or another by The Sandman. Even directly, in the case of Orpheus, his son, and his refusal to take any advice from any of The Endless. Stories of Ramadan, Caeasar, and even Lyta Hall's son Daniel being told a story in the House of Secrets. Rating: - Gaiman continues to amazeIn this handful of only barely connected stories, Gaiman does what he does best, he tells a damn good story. While not furthering any particular storyline, he portrays his fellow man in all his nobility, pettiness, glory, and malice, and all things in between, in ways only Gaiman can.
