About this Collection

This volume collects issues #29–31, #38–40, and #50 of Neil Gaiman's acclaimed series, along with the one-shots 'The Song of Orpheus' and 'The Parliament of Rooks.' It weaves together a tapestry of standalone tales and historical vignettes, exploring themes of storytelling, identity, and mortality as Dream encounters figures from myth and legend. Key stories include the tragic retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, a journey through Baghdad's golden age, and a confrontation with the immortal Cain and Abel.
