If you don't know who Gaiman is please give yourself a minus point in the geekdom category....

Excellent article and thanks for posting it.

I suspect my geekdom score is above zero. Gaiman is a friend of a friend and I almost wrote him a letter once. Got his address, anyway.

My daughter has spoken with him.

And I have my copy of GOOD OMENS ready, if I ever get a chance to get it signed. He dedicated it to Chesterton.

And I once was in the same room with him.

I am a collector so I have an almost complete Sandman and several other of his works. It never occurred to me to wonder if he was an Anglo Catholic.....

I've no reason to suppose he is.

But I know Fiddler's Green:

Good article. I'm no fan of Gaiman, though, and view his work as enormously overrated.
