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.

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... _______________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.
