Tales, dreams, shadow-truths…the fabric of the multiverse. One universe touches upon another, and the dreamer dreams. The faerie queen leads her court though the forest and one more mortal falls in love.Books are evidence that once upon a time a mortal slept, and dreamt. Within the pages of dusty, leather-bound books lies proof that the philosophers’ stone exists in the realm of imagination spinning words of straw into gold, and bequeathing immortality to those who possess it.
The multiverse is yours for the taking if you believe, and are unafraid to dream.
Open a book, and step into a realm unknown.

Published as a short story? Part of an anthology? I like what Neil Gaiman has to say.

I think it’s just a commentary on books and what they mean to me–a kernel of something bigger. Neil Gaiman makes my mind work, always!
