The Graveyard Book: Chapter 1 | Read by Neil Gaiman

Watch and listen to Neil Gaiman read The Graveyard Book, a clever young adult novel that tells the story of Bod. Nobody (Bod) Owens is an orphan adopted by ghosts and raised in the graveyard. The dead and undead teach Bod the lessons of the living while he grows up.

If you need to, remember to turn English captions on (bottom bar) so that you can follow the transcription text as Gaiman reads along.

We are sure this mesmerising reading by the author himself will capture you and once you are done, you will eagerly start searching for the next chapters!

Chapter 1 – How Nobody Came to the Graveyard

In the dark and scary beginning, the man Jack kills a family with a sharp, long knife. The toddler tumbles from his crib and toddles out the open door and up the hill, escaping Jack.

At the top of the hill, in the graveyard, Mr and Mrs Owens find the baby. They wonder what to do with a live child in their dead world. When someone rattles the gate they think someone has come for the child. A startling flickering ghost of the baby’s dead mother appears pleading with them to keep her child safe. Her panic draws figures from all over the graveyard.
