Neil Gaiman: The Graveyard Book

Call me slow, but it didn't dawn on me that the title The Graveyard Book, is a play on The Jungle Book until I was half through, and then I couldn't believe I had missed it before. On the other hand, there was a point where I thought "aha, Pinocchio allusion", so there you go. But enough about other classics: The Graveyard Book is another example of Neil Gaiman being quite simply one of the best storytellers around.
