No, the fantasy in question is nothing to do with parcels getting lost in the post - the Royal Mail is bringing out a set of stamps depicting mythological creatures.Designed by comic artist Dave McKean, who created the covers for The Sandman
and designed The Vertigo Tarot
, the stamps show unicorns, dragons, giants, pixies, mermaids and fairies. If you order the presentation pack that comes with the stamps, you will also get a series of short stories written by Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman, Neverwhere
and American Gods
.The stamps are due out on June 16, just before the Midsummer Solstice - how appropriate!
