Neil Gaiman wrote a novella called Dream Hunters, and it was published as an illustrated work with Yoshitaka Amano. I have not read it yet, to my regret.
A decade later, Craig Russell collaborated with Gaiman to produce a graphic novel adaptation, and this is the book I was given to read, due to my current interest in the fox/trickster motif.
The book is a hardcover, the printing and paper are good, and it's clear this is a work of good production values, but that is of course all surface detail.
The story is Gaiman, and it's bittersweet, and wonderful. Gaiman's amazing, and that's all I'm going to say about that.
The art is great as well. The color palette was designed to reproduce Japanese wood block prints, and consequently is wonderfully elegant. Russell's art complements and suits Gaiman's story very well indeed, and results in a beautifully presented, beautiful story.
Four and a half out of five.
