Coraline with Neil Gaiman & Chris Riddell (2012 event)
To mark the 10th anniversary of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, Chris Riddell has created beautiful, atmospheric and unsettling illustrations for a new edition of the book. The tale of the lonely girl who discovers an alternate world where her ‘other mother and father’ live has been turned into a graphic novel and a film. In this event, Coraline’s creator Neil Gaiman and award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell discuss their inspiration for the words and the pictures with interviewer Grace Sutherland. Recorded live at the 2012 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
