Neil Gaiman on The Simpsons

Neil Gaiman is going to be on The Simpsons this Sunday, and if you think animation and Gaiman go hand-in-hand we highly recommend this animated video of James Thurber’s The 13 Clocks from B&N.com. Gaiman narrates the video, and wrote the introduction to our book. Here’s the first the first couple sentences from his introduction: “This book, the one you are holding, The 13 Clocks by James Thurber, is probably the best book in the world. And if it’s not the best book, then it’s still very much like nothing anyone has ever seen before, and, to the best of my knowledge, no one’s ever really seen anything like it since.”

Happy Halloween from Neil Gaiman and James Thurber →

Barnes and Noble Review and BN.com put together this lovely animation of James Thurber’s fractured fairytale, The Thirteen Clocks. Neil Gaiman, who selected the book to be animated, narrates.

The film was developed by the creative department at Team Detroit, under Toby Barlow’s leadership and animated by Nola Pictures.
