Neil Gaiman Presents - Volume 2 : Votan

A comedy set in the second century AD, "Votan" is the story of a Greek nobleman who is travelling and living abroad in Germany while carrying on an affair with a military man's wife.

To save his own life he takes an emergency business trip and packs with his belongings certain items that lead the townspeople he encounters to think him a Norse God, which he doesn't try to dissuade them from.

Written in the same tone as Douglas Adams, the story unfolds in a humorous and adventurous manner as the lead character has to keep up the pretense of being a god while staying one step ahead of his lover's jealous husband.
