If you want a modern fairytale, then Gaiman is your author. Nobody Owens has been given the Freedom of the Graveyard when, as a baby, he is found there after the brutal murder of his parents. We follow Bod as he grows up, meeting a variety of creatures from ghost and folk tale on the way, always aware of the threat that hangs over him. This is a book to read aloud at bedtime. Highly recommended.
