The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. What's remarkable here (considering the publisher and the time that this was originally published) is that the main character of the book--the Sandman, King of Dreams--serves only as a minor character in each of these otherwise unrelated stories. (Actually, he's not even in the last story.) This signaled a couple of important things in the development of what is considered one of the great comics of the second half of the century. First, it marked a distinct move away from the horror genre and into a more fantasy-rich, classical mythology-laden environment. And secondly, it solidly cemented Neil Gaiman as a storyteller. One of the stories here, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," took home the World Fantasy Award for best short story--the first time a comic was given that honor. But for my money, another story in Dream Country has it beat hands down. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" has such hope, beauty, and good old-fashioned chills that rereading it becomes a welcome pleasure. --Jim Pascoe

Richard Madoc is an ambitious writer who has run out of ideas, so he captures himself a muse.
A cat gives lectures on the true history of the world and man's rightful place on it.
William Shakespeare and his company put on a special performance for a very special audience.
Urania Blackwell used to be a superheroine, but now she is just a being with nowhere to go and no face to wear.
Dream Country is a collection of four short stories that formerly appeared in the Sandman comic-book. All of the stories are excellent in art and writing, apart from the last one, which has a superheroic connection that sits uncomfortably with the book. Storywise this is an excellent jumping-on point to the series, since all of the stories are self-contained and easily accessible, largely lacking any convoluted history and cross-references with other books. The only problem is that at its page-count the volume tends to be a bit on the pricey side, even though Gaiman provided us with the script to the story "Calliope", which gives the inquisitive reader insight into the process of making a comic-book.

Sandman Vol. III is composed of four stories, which have nothing to do with each other except their theme - dreaming. Maybe that's one of the reasons why this book is not in the same way fascinating than the first two ones. Also some of the tales are not that impressive: The cats dreaming is enjoyable - but no more. And the Shakespeare-story is more puzzling than awe-inspiring or entertaining. However this could also be due to my poor command of English :-) Anyway, the drawings are still inspiring and I'm looking forward for the next volume.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A collection of four unrelated stories, dream country was just neil taking a break from the big involving storylines and telling a few simple tales. The first story is amusing, and the idea of looking into where writers get their ideas was cool. It ended up a little too much like an episode of twilight zone, but neil seems to like the horror stuff. Dream of a Thousand Cats was...it was unique. I'm not really sure what the point of this story was, so I'll reserve comment. Like a previous reviewer said "the thing about the cats....whatever." The third story "A midsummer night's dream" was the one that everyone seemed to like so much. I thought it was alright,but once you get past the fantastic premise of shakespeares actors performing in front of the faeries and creatures they are portraying, the story doesn't offer much after that, although it was still beautifully written. The final story "facade" about a suicidal ex superheroine. hmm...once again, not sure what the point of this was, but beautfully written, and the ending seemed kinda absurd. Actually, my favorite part of the whole book was the script that neil added for the first story. Being an aspiring comic writer, I found it interesting to see how neil writes his comics. all in all, i suppose its worth the money. but if you are reading the sandman books sequentially, and think that you need to pick up this third volume, don't worry. the short stories contained in here are pretty irrelevant to the rest of the series.

Pretty awesome!
It is pretty awesome! I must admit I am totally new to the Neil Gaimaverse, but I liked this one. It is quite unusual, a bit hard and upsetting at times, but very likable in a very... Lesen Sie weiter...

Not the best in the series (but that's no big deal)
This book is not the best in the Sandman series, but that's because the benchmark was set so high with Brief Lives and Season of Mists. Lesen Sie weiter...

Big Disappointment
Everybody else seems to have loved it. Can't one be a connoisseur and still be objective? The first two (Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll's House) are far superior to Dream... Lesen Sie weiter...

Frozen Moments
These short stories, especially the awardwinning Midsummer Night's Dream, are beautifully drawn, brilliantly written, and always a treat.

Simply the best.
It would be an insult to try to explain what this book does to me. Just wow. That's all that needs to be said.
