This is interesting because Gaiman's writing for children - commandingly good as it is - is lifted into another dimension by Dave McKean's illustrations. McKean's drawings have a woodblock quality to them, like graven images hurled on to very vivid backgrounds. The image of the two-year-old future author, playing with carved wooden blocks, rendered bright with colour, could have been a foretaste of his collaboration with McKean. The day we meet he has had to wake up early - for him - to fly to London from Dublin for a day of interviews and meetings with movie folk.

Bleary, but politely attentive, he looks white beneath his mop of curly hair, and is cloaked in his trademark navy sweater, black jeans and leather jacket. With three kids, how does that work? Gaiman is in his late forties now, and his oldest two are at university, but Maddy is 11 and still at home.

I'm usually still writing at 4. I've never been very good at mornings. This is the sort of thing other authors might just throw out in an interview, never to think about again. But Gaiman's author profile is inextricably intertwined with his very Alpha internet presence - he is a serious blogger, which is one of the reasons his website gets all those hits - so somebody somewhere will shortly ask him, via the web, about his sleeping patterns. It's another aspect of his writing identity: But maybe because he's tired, or maybe just because nobody's ever asked him, he talks today about something he's never covered online or in interviews before.

It was when Gaiman was 12 that he first came across a seam of mythology unlike anything his childhood collections of Greek and Roman tales had yet exposed him to. That was the year he got to be "really Jewish", as he puts it. For this pre-bar mitzvah year, he was sent each weekend to stay with observant cousins in Wembley. He was a cantor, Reb Meyer Lev. He was very, very into all of the stories of Jewish mythology.
