Neil Gaiman is a well-known English writer who has a very diverse
portfolio. He has written successful novels, comic books, graphic
novels, short stories and poems. Aside from art in the written form, he
has also been involved in film. He co-wrote the screenplay for the movie
MirrorMask. His works have earned him a large variety of awards and he
has even set the record for being the first person to earn the Newbery
and Carnegie awards for a single novel. He earned these awards for his
2008 novel The Graveyard Book. His childhood and his education were
fairly normal but he was already reading fairly well by the age of four.
He loved reading and had read vast amounts of novels by the time he was
a young teenager, developing his style and interests. Later he became a
fan of science fiction, which sparked his own novels in the genre. One
lesser studied aspect of Neil Gaiman is his riddles. Riddles play a
notable part in his works.
