First published in 1989 and covering 75 volumes, The Sandman follows Morpheus, one of seven immortal siblings who embody the natural forces: Death, Desire, Destiny, Delerium, Destruction and – in Morpheus’s case – Dream. Ageless, anthropomorphic and metaphysical, Morpheus occupies a fantastical world not too far from our own – a world in which chaos reigns and morality is always open to interpretation.

In August this year, 30 years on from the publication of the first volume, Netflix released a highly anticipated adaptation of The Sandman – an engrossing, lavish production starring Tom Sturridge, Jenna Coleman and Gwendoline Christie. It has received critical acclaim for its raw emotional depth, its intricately timeless storytelling, and its examinations of gender, sexuality and racial diversity.

Gaiman is the creator of over 30 books for adults and children, including Coraline and Stardust, as well as Good Omens, which he wrote with Terry Pratchett. He will join former Guardian books reporter Alison Flood to talk about his inspirations and the creative process behind the series that made him an icon.

Chivalry is an adaptation of a short story by Neil Gaiman, in which an elderly widow, Mrs Whitaker, unknowingly buys the Holy Grail in a charity shop - an event that launches her into an epic world of adventure with a handsome young knight who goes by the name of Galaad. In a collaboration that brings to life illustrative styles from the Golden Age, and taking influence from the Illuminated Manuscripts, Chivalry is a charming and witty tale about taking risks, and finding friendship in unlikely places.
