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.
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.
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.
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.
The Sandman
• This book is a book
of dreams, it isn’t
really a comic, or a
graphic novel. I
would suppose it is
an anthonology of
short stories.
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.
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. He’s an
Englishman, back in
London for a short
time to write a film
script in peace and
semi-secrecy.
Neverwhere
• This book is a
fantasy that first
aired in 1996, this
series is in set in
London. It’s a
magical realm
existing with the
more familiar
London, it was
devised by Neil
Gaiman and Lenny
Henry.
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.
