The UK Royal Mail came out with a gorgeous set of postage stamps yesterday based around 6 mythical British creatures, with art by Mirrormask director/designer Dave McKean, and (very) short stories to go with them courtesy of Neil Gaiman. You can see the stamps
here and read the drabblish vignettes
here.
They're all wonderful, but I can't say if I like the fairy story or the dragon story best.
