Bunch loves Art Spiegelman‘s series of children’s graphic novels, Little Lit. When Spiegelman put out a call for authors for the third collection in the series: It Was a Dark and Silly Night, Neil Gaiman was an obvious selection and New Yorker cartoonist, Gahan Wilson was chosen to illustrate his contribution. Now, as a lead-in to the Gahan Wilson biography, “Born Dead, Still Weird” , this animated version of the story has been released. It’s really charming, a little spooky and a whole lot of fun!
Our Bunch loves Neil Gaiman‘s dark, creepy storytelling. His kids’ novel, The Graveyard Book, which has already been awarded with this year’s Newberry Medal, has just made it to the finals in Audible.com’s Tournament of Audio Books. Read by Gaiman himself, who is a master storyteller, this is a book that really shines in audio. It bears mentioning that The Graveyard Book, which has been described as “The Jungle Book with ghosts” is quite creepy, and so is more suited to an older audience (10+).
Bunch is loving Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess’ awesome new picture book, Blueberry Girl. Written originally for Tori Amos’ baby daughter, Blueberry Girl is sweet and sentimental, without being too syrupy and Vess’ whimsical watercolour illustrations are a fabulous complement to the text.
