Neil Gaiman, who brought us the Sandman graphic novels as well as Stardust (which became a major film) and co-authored the script for the film Beowulf, has returned with THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, available at the finest of stores worldwide (including Amazon).
A tale of childhood, set in a graveyard, the book tells the tale of Nobody “Bod” Owens an orphaned boy growing up in the most unlikely of environments, similar to the story of jungle-dwelling Mowgli from The Jungle Book. Bod learns how to survive by learning from both the living and the dead.
“It takes a graveyard to raise a child” – Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife.
A modern day Jungle Book.
Cool! We’ll see if we can get someone to review it for our site…
