Coraline Award-winning by Neil Gaiman (author) and Chris Riddell (illustrator)

The bewitching classic children’s novel by Neil Gaiman, featuring spellbinding illustrations from Chris Riddell and an exclusive new introduction by the author

‘I was enthralled … a marvellously strange and scary book’ Philip Pullman ‘A masterpiece’ Terry Pratchett

There is something strange about Coraline’s new home.

It’s not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, her new neighbours, read in the tea leaves. It’s the other house – the one behind the old door in the drawing room.

Another mother and father with black-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And they want her to stay with them. For ever. She knows that if she ventures through that door, she may never come back.

This deliciously creepy, gripping novel is packed with glorious illustrations by Chris Riddell, and is guaranteed to delight and entrance readers of all ages.
