Author:
The author is Neil Gaiman, he is an English writer of fiction, fantasy,
horror and comics. He has received several important awards in his
career, including the Nebula Award and the Bram Stoker Award.
Style:
I think that the style of this book is clear and easy to read. There is not
that much of difficult vocabulary. The letters are large and it reads
smoothly, the illustrations just before each new chapter make it more
entertaining too. It also helps me to understand the story better.
