I love Neil Gaiman. I'm not sure I enjoy his writing especially (though all of this children's lit is fabulous), but I really enjoy his bloggings and his public speaking.

I feel the exact same way about Gaiman actually. Except that when he hits it, he knocks it out of the part (this isn't the first fairy tale he's written that has made my jaw drop).

I recorded this instead, and sent it to my friend when she graduated high school. Because you're right--and I love how you put that--it makes you think of childhood, and the fairy tales that raised you.

Awwww, that is awesome!
