About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Fortunately, the Milk . . . written and read by Neil Gaiman.

From multi-award-winning Neil Gaiman comes a spectacularly silly, mind-bendingly clever, brilliantly bonkers adventure.

Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day by going to buy some.

Really, that's all that happens. Very boring. YAAAAAAAAAWN.

There are absolutely none of the following inside:

GLOBBY GREEN ALIENS!
INTERGALACTIC POLICE!
PIRATES!
And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon piloted by the brilliant dinosaur scientist Professor Steg...©2013 Neil Gaiman (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers Fantasy Fiction Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Comedy Interstellar Pirate
