Neil Gaiman/Chris Riddell 3-Book Box Set: Coraline; The Graveyard Book; Fortunately, the Milk

What a beautiful book set! Chris Riddell's amazing line illustrations are a perfect match for Gaiman's ever-so-slightly creepy stories. Coraline: You may have already seen the film, but this is about a little girl named Coraline, who finds a door in her house that leads to another world that is just like her own, only way more exciting. It's inhabited by copies of people who reside in Coraline's real world, and they are all created by her "Other Mother," who eventually tells Coraline that she wants her to stay with her forever. Choices, choices. What will Coraline decide to do, and what will be the consequences of those choices? And what has happened to her real parents? Fortunately, the Milk: While aimed at a very young audience, this is a very creative book that is rather entertaining. Imagine that you go out to the store to buy milk for your kids' breakfast cereal, only your journey is filled with unexpected adventures and unusual characters that pretty much do everything in their power to keep you from getting home. Does Dad ever make it home with the milk? The Graveyard Book: A young boy's family is murdered in their beds by a man in black, but somehow the little tyke makes it out of his house and toddles into the nearby graveyard, where he is adopted by the ghosts who live there. I loved this book. Every twist and turn in the story line was wholly unexpected and very unusual. Above all, it held my attention from start to finish.

Yes! A nice collection for Coraline! We love Coraline.

I bought these books for my nine-year-old niece. I thought they'd all be graphic novels for some reason, which my niece prefers, (I know Coraline can be either a straight up novel or a graphic novel) but they are just regular novels & once I opened them up, they are perfect. They have pictures that add a lot to the stories, and just generally have good content.

Nice set of books.

Actually came a week earlier than expected, great books so far and love that they still include a few pages of illustrations

Nice set of softcover editions.

A ten of ten trilogy

All the books have very nice art and the box they come in is nice and sturdy. I really like how the artwork is intertwined with the text at times rather than sectioned off at the bottom or on it's own page. My favorite story of the three is The Graveyard Book, which has a nice balance of creepy with lovable characters and an interesting, though segmented, plot. Coraline is more of a horror story and the creepiest of the three and a really good read. Fortunately the Milk balances out the other two by adding adventure and fun to the set. All three are great to read aloud to someone.

Neil Gaiman es uno de nuestros escritores favoritos. Compré este set para mi hijo de 9 años y nos ha encantado, las ilustraciones son muy bonitas, la letra es de un tamaño adecuado para que la lean adultos y niños y la presentación de los libros en general es muy linda. Lo recomiendo mucho, también sería un muy buen regalo para niños entre los 6 y 11 años. Los libros están escritos en inglés.

Nice book it came early and in good condition the drawing are very pretty and well done.

Perfect condition and fantastic book set!

Adorei. O inglês é bem complicado, se você não é falante nativo, vai encontrar muitas palavras novas e especificas. A qualidade da página e capa e todo o resto não é das melhores, mas é bem melhor do que os livros da editora Principia. Fora que estava bem barato.

Three engrossing reads from the master of tales. I like how the books are tiered - one for younger kids, one for tweens, and one for teens. Of course, they appeal to the inner child of all adults. Love the illustrations too. I think they added a lot of colour to the reading experience. (even though they are just outline drawings).
