From award-winning author Neil Gaiman comes this collector's edition box set, which contains paperback editions of three of his bestselling novels: The Graveyard Book, Coraline, and Fortunately, The Milk.

Each book in this set is 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.

From the creepy mists of the strange house in Coraline to the laugh-out-loud hilarity of Fortunately, the Milk, this box set is guaranteed to delight children and adults alike.

The Graveyard Book:
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a graveyard, raised and educated by ghosts. There are dangers and adventures for Bod in the graveyard. But it is in the land of the living that the real danger lurks, for it is there that the man Jack lives...

Coraline:
There is something strange about Coraline's new home. It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her. It's the other house. Another mother and father with black-button eyes are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And they want her to stay with them. For ever...

Fortunately, the Milk:
Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day by going to buy some. Really, that's all that happens. Very boring. There are absolutely NO aliens, pirates, or intergalactic police inside. And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon piloted by the brilliant dinosaur scientist Professor Steg...

Industry 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 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
