For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral * Daily Telegraph *One of the joys of reading Gaiman is how he subverts our expectations of magic, horror, fantasy and the mundane … A memorable, captivating read * The Times on THE GRAVEYARD BOOK *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 * Daily Telegraph *I think this book will nudge Alice in Wonderland out of its niche at last.
