Dream Country (Sandman vol.3), by Neil Gaiman

Not nearly as good as the first volume, but still great fun to read. This is a collection of four self-contained plot lines delving deeper into the universe of The Endless, in which Dream is only one of the players. The first story, "Calliope", about a writer who holds a muse captive to his own uses, was my favourite. Perhaps my second favourite was "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in which we're told how Dream had a hand in Shakespeare's creation.
