  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.

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.

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 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.

Finch

  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 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

• 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
