Fortunately, the Milk
by Neil Gaiman
How is it possible that the same author wrote "The Ocean at the End of the Lane", "Coraline", "American Gods" and "Stardust", all so very different. A master MASTER superb story teller for children and adults alike, Gaiman can tell a funny story, a fairytale, a strange fantasy, and an intriguing children's tale all extremely well.
With Fortunately, the Milk, which he had also read on audio and if you've never heard him audio narrate his books, you are missing out a whole dimension of Neil Gaiman that doesn't come in written text. I can't recommend it enough.
So yes, back to Fortunately, the Mlik, the father, the boy the girl and the run to the corner shop to pick up some milk. How can anyone get so creative? "Where there's milk, there's hope!" is probably my favorite line from the movie, followed closely by the children blurting out, "We don't believe a word of it. No, not a single word of it."
What I love about a number of Neil Gaiman's book is how short and sweet they are. While I love for them to go on, I love reading and devouring short complete stories just as much. This book was about an hour on audio and deliciously satisfying. Can't recommend this or any other of Neil Gaiman's books enough!
