Neil Gaiman is the author of many highly imaginative graphic novels and works of fiction for adults. CORALINE is his first book for children. He began working on CORALINE over ten years ago and he took many breaks during the process. Neil is a British author living and working in Minneapolis, USA. As well as writing books Neil writes screenplays and is working on a film version of CORALINE.
'Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety.' Books for Keeps '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. His new novel CORALINE is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral.' Daily Telegraph Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and, in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both Alice in Wonderland and the Narnia Chronicles, we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.
