Now a sprightly 48, Gaiman was raised in Hampshire by his mother, a pharmacist, and a father who - read into this what you may - was one of the top men in the British wing of Scientology. In the early 1980s, he toyed with journalism and managed to get a few stories published in fantasy magazines. His dad, unconvinced that the boy was going to make a living, made a few half-hearted attempts to secure him a proper job.
