I always thought that as an adult, and one with an especially subtle capability for deadpan yarn-spinning, it was my job to really bend kids’ minds - tell some real whoppers that they would possibly believe, surely repeat, and ultimately question. I didn’t quite think of it as “trolling” but that does pretty much summarize it. While I don’t consider my mind to be anywhere near as twisted as that of Gaiman, I certainly aspire to be and will definitely be putting this on my reading/gift list.
