Neil Gaiman Round-up

Big congratulations to ”’Neil Gaiman”’ on winning the Newbury Medal, a major award for children’s literature for The Graveyard Book – it’s a damn fine book and an unusual choice for such a major award. What with ”’Cory Doctorow””s Little Brother and ”’Charlie Higson””s Young Bond series, a lot of my recent favourite books have been classed as ‘young fiction’. Speaking of Neil, the trailer for ”’Coraline”’ is up in HD on youtube and looks stunning. He also announced in this interview that ”’Neil Jordan”’ has signed up to film The Graveyard Book.
Finally, if you’re in Dublin on the 16/17th February then you can go along and see two of my favourite people, Neil and ”’Amanda Palmer”’.
