About this listen

“Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled, and said, "We don't love you anymore." So began the Twitter Audio project, with a dazzling first line penned by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman. What followed was an epic tale of imaginary lands, magical objects, haunting melodies, plucky sidekicks, menacing villains, and much more.

From mystical blue roses to enchanted mirrors to pesky puppets, this classic fable was born from the collective creativity of more than one hundred contributors via the social network Twitter.com in a groundbreaking literary experiment. Together, virtual strangers crafted a rollicking story of a young girl’s journey with love, forgiveness, and acceptance.

A modern classic that has notes and aromas from past classics. N.G never fails to feed the mind on wonder and thought.

I enjoy most Gaiman. However, although I think there's maybe a decent story here, I did not enjoy this one as much as expected. it was a bit of a slog to get through, in part because, subjectively, I didn't gel with the narrators style.

Listen to a sample first and don't commit unless you like what you hear.
