Neil Gaiman links to two pages of "a sixty-three page eighteenth century novel in the grand manner about a waltzing mouse", now replubished, by Noel Langley. In another post, he waxes hilarious about a new feature on www.neilgaiman.com. Prepare to be amazed and confounded and see why I love Neil. Then read the LJ comments, for there be hilarious reports on the wonders of the "mystical and oracular ball of elightenment".
