In each city of Mr Gaiman’s 9 city book tour for “The Graveyard Book,” he shall read a chapter from said book<\/a>. These readings will be caught by a camera and shared here at Mr Bob’s remarkable Mouse Circus<\/a> (Gaiman’s Official website for young readers). <\/p>\n

By the end of the tour you have a free book. If you have not heard the man read his own works you owe it to yourself to tune in. Not only is he a wizardly wordsmith, he can weave an aural tale to boot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So… the tour has started. At each tour stop I read a chapter of the book, and each evening’s reading is being filmed. (Tour schedule is up at http:\/\/journal.neilgaiman.com\/2008\/09\/graveyard-book-tour.html<\/a> and at Where’s Neil<\/a>)<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.mousecircus.com\/videotour.aspx<\/a> is the page on which the readings will be posted.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

By the end of the tour you get a free book. (Well, free in the sense that it’s something you don’t have to pay for<\/a>, anyway.)<\/p>\n

(Edit to add: There seems to be sporadic overload on the Mousecircus.com servers, so the Webgoblin is also putting them up at http:\/\/www.neilgaiman.com\/p\/Cool_Stuff\/Video_Clips\/The_Graveyard_Book_Tour and here’s an embedding of that one<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why this was a very useful post, Mr Gaiman, and I did share the link<\/a> with all my friends, invisible and otherwise. <\/p>\n
