Thanks for that article, Bookworm-Girl. It is interesting to see how a figure of fear can evolve over time. Apart from Dracula, I don’t think I have read any other books with vampires in them, sparkling or still, until I came to Silas. Gaiman certainly makes us want to know more about him.
On your point, fantasyfan, I think that the great works of children’s literature live on because there is indeed so much for the adult to enjoy too. Reading one of the Alice books aloud to a child is a great pleasure for both parties. It’s a happy memory for me of doing just that with my small niece and nephew many years ago.
