Like all good geeks I’m familiar with Neil Gaiman, mostly through Good Omens but I do have Anansi Boys on the shelf waiting for my time. What I did not realize is that he’s got enough of a Shakespeare background to a whole section of his Wikipedia page. I’ve only ever heard about “Sandman”, never read it, but knowing that Shakespeare himself shows up in 3 episodes, one dealing with the inspiration for The Tempest, I may have to go seek those out!
