Neil Gaiman
  • In the next few slides, there will be some of the
    books that Neil Gaiman wrote. I will conclude a
    brief summary about the book.

6
Coraline
  • The day after they moved in, Coraline went
    exploring in Coraline's family's new flat.
    Thirteen of the doors open and close. The
    fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is
    only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks
    the door to find a passage to another flat in
    another house just like her own.

7
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, being raised and
    educated by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs
    to neither the world of the living or of the
    dead.

8
Stardust
  • Neil Gaiman wrote this book to honor the simpler
    fairy tales, and fantasies of times past, where a
    town was taken to a magical place and a person
    could wonder without restraint if he or she chose.

9
The Sandman
  • This book is a book of dreams, it isnt really a
    comic, or a graphic novel. I would suppose it is
    an anthonology of short stories.

10
American Gods
  • A man named Shadow is serving the last days of a
    three-year assault, he is relieved that he will
    soon be joining his beloved wife and their
    interrupted life.

11
The Facts In the Case of the Departure of Miss
Finch
  • Miss Finch is narrated by a man who never tells
    us his name, a writer very much like Neil Gaiman.
    Hes an Englishman, back in London for a short
    time to write a film script in peace and
    semi-secrecy.

12
Neverwhere
  • This book is a fantasy that first aired in 1996,
    this series is in set in London. Its a magical
    realm existing with the more familiar London, it
    was devised by Neil Gaiman and Lenny Henry.

13
Good Omens
  • It is a book about a two angels one fallen and
    one still standing and their latest job
    assignment. Good Omens uses the circumstances to
    explore the idea of what it means to be good,
    evil, most of all, human.
