Carnegie and Newbery Medal-winning author Neil Gaiman and Eisner Award-winning illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti both remember the horror and fascination with which they read the Grimm Brothers' "Hansel and Gretel" in their respective youths. In this handsome picture-book edition for readers 6 and up, they offer a superb retelling of the dark and enduring tale with brush drawings so saturated in shadow that they are nearly silhouettes.(Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Awards) There is something strange about Coraline's new home, in Neil Gaiman's exquisitely creepy fantasy for readers 10 and up. It's not the mist, nor the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that her new neighbors Miss Spink and Miss Forcible read in the tea leaves; it's the other house-the one behind the old door in the drawing room-where her button-eyed "other mother" and "other father" want Coraline to join them. Forever. Gaiman provides a new introduction for this 10th-Anniversary Edition, while two-time Kate Greenaway Medalist Chris Riddell contributes his splendidly disturbing ink drawings.
