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 Fantasy Fiction Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Science Fiction & Fantasy Comedy Interstellar Pirate

Critic reviews

A self-referential gem ... Both author and illustrator are craftsmen at the top of their game, making it look easy
Funny and inventive ... Neil Gaiman is a phenomenon
A story that is as entertaining for adults as children
Neil Gaiman is the nearest thing children's books have to a rock star: if you enjoy fantasy, he is irresistible
All stars

A fantastic short story.

Mr. Gaiman is a fantastic writer and performer!

Thank you for taking me on a wonderful, fun packed adventure.

Dreadful
