Summary
Neil Gaiman’s delightfully quirky story, in which Mrs Whitaker discovers the Holy Grail in a charity shop.

Lighthearted
Nice Sunday afternoon read with a big cuppa tea and maybe bit of fruit cake.

A very short, whimsical and charmingly heartfelt story
Neil Gaiman introduces a whimsical, heartfelt story that ties to his relationships with the elderly matrons of his life and what it would be like if, as an old person, you were given the chance to be young again.
This is a simplistic story that was clearly designed as a new age fairy tale with classical elements from tales of chivalry, but as with the Sleeper and the Spindle, this story is introduced with a personal anecdote and background segment by the author himself.
This is a short and sweet story that is under 40 minutes, so one to be enjoyed in the span of an afternoon walk.

A bit of a hug
I’m tempted to say ‘nice’ but actually it felt like my soul had been hugged.

Complete escapism within the hour
Perfect for a candle lit bath after an incredulously stressful day in the life of a teacher. Enough said about that. I'm back in the calm of the evening feeling so, so happy that I listened to this.

great story but gaiman does talk alot!
really enjoyed the performance but author introduction goes on too long. If it had been at the end of the recording then I would have found it more useful, but as it's at the top I had to skip large parts of it to avoid Neil giving away the plot!
