Odd and the Frost Giants is a children’s book/short story by Neil Gaiman, which he has written for World Book Day. It’s illustrated by Mark Buckingham (of Fables fame) and the pictures are beautiful. And it only costs € 1,99. What more could you ask for?

The story is sweet and Odd is even sweeter. I also like the nordic mythology stuff (in general), so that was nice to have.

Gaiman’s prose, as usual, is clear and crisp and wonderful.

The only problem I had was that it was much too short.
