Présentation de l'éditeur
A #1 New York Times bestseller, Neil Gaiman s Graveyard Book is a masterpiece! Hailed by Diana Wynne Jones as the best book Neil Gaiman has ever written, and the recipient of 6 starred reviews, The Graveyard Book is a luminous novel about the adventures of a boy raised by the ghosts, werewolves, and other denizens of a graveyard.
Nobody Owens is a normal boy, except that he lives in a sprawling graveyard, and has been raised since infancy by ghosts and a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead. There are adventures in a graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man, a gateway to the abandoned city of ghouls, and the strange and terrible Sleer. There are dangers though too, and if Bod leaves the graveyard, he may fall prey to the man Jack, who has already murdered Bod s entire family.
Effortlessly inventive, chilling, and magical, Neil s Graveyard Book is an absolute masterpiece. --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .
