The three books are all very different, but Chris Riddell's illustrations suit them all. The Graveyward book is my favourite, but I think Coraline is the best known, after the amazing movie adaptation by Laika. Fortunately the Milk is, I think, aimed at a younger audience than the other two, and is a lovely story with a nonsensical vibe. Very entertaining.
Neil Gaiman & Chris Riddell Box Set
The editions of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, Coraline and Fortunately, the Milk in this collector's edition box set are illustrated in trademark inspired, hilarious and moving style by acclaimed artist Chris Riddell, Children's Laureate and two-time winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, among other awards and honours.
Neil Gaiman has written highly acclaimed books for both children and adults and is the first author to have won both the Carnegie and Newbery Medals for the same work – The Graveyard Book. The L.A. Times has described his multi-million-selling graphic novel series Sandman as ‘the greatest epic in the history of comic books’. Many of his books, including Coraline and Stardust, have been made into films, Neverwhere has been adapted for tv and radio and American Gods is in development as a major HBO series. He has also written two amazing episodes of Doctor Who and appeared in The Simpsons as himself. In 2013 he published his first adult novel for seven years, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which received stellar reviews and was a bestseller around the world.
Children's Laureate Chris Riddell is a much loved illustrator, author and acclaimed political cartoonist. He has won the Nestle Gold Award and two Kate Greenaway Medals. He is co-creator of the hugely successful New York Times bestseller the Edge Chronicles.
Reviews:
“Coraline: Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety” – Books for Keeps
“Fortunately, The Milk: it's just perfect” – Amanda Craig, Sunday Times
“The Graveyard Book: One of the joys of reading Gaiman is how he subverts our expectations of magic, horror, fantasy and the mundane” – The Times
“I was looking forward to Coraline and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book” – Philip Pullman, Guardian
“If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. Coraline is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral” – Daily Telegraph
“If asked to put The Graveyard Book into a genre, I'd have to say: this is a Neil Gaiman book. It's in the Genre of Excellence” – Fortean Times
“The Graveyard Book: A captivating piece of work, light as fresh grave dirt, haunting as the inscription on a tombstone” – Financial Times
“Humour pours out of Fortunately, The Milk” – The Telegraph
