You know what it's like when your mum goes away on a business trip and Dad's in charge. She leaves a really, really long list of what he's got to do. And the most important thing is DON'T FORGET TO GET THE MILK. Unfortunately, Dad forgets. So the next morning, before breakfast, he has to go to the corner shop, and this is the story of why it takes him a very, very long time to get back. Featuring: Professor Steg (a time-travelling dinosaur), some green globby things, the Queen of the Pirates, the famed jewel that is the Eye of Splod, some wumpires, and a perfectly normal but very important carton of milk. The award-laden, bestselling Neil Gaiman, author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Stardust, Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book and Coraline, brings his biggest ever publishing year to a spectacular conclusion with this gloriously entertaining novel about time-travel, dinosaurs, milk and dads.

爸爸除了在家看报纸，还会出门买牛奶？！

妈妈要参加学术研讨会，星期四才回来。妈妈什么都准备好了，就是忘记一件事：牛奶不够了！没有牛奶，我们要怎么吃早餐？这时爸爸终于放下报纸起身，接下购买牛奶的任务！于是，他出门了。

天这么黑，我们这么饿，爸爸出门买牛奶，怎么还不回家？

就在我们等到快饿死的时候，爸爸终于回来了！但是，他不只真的记得带了一瓶牛奶回来，还带回来一个超级夸张的冒险故事——被外星人绑架、遇到海盗、被恐龙科学家带走、坐上时空机、遇见吸血鬼家族……那他到底是怎么回到家的？

尼尔·盖曼（Neil Gaiman，1960--）是近十年来欧美文坛崛起的耀眼的明星，被视为新一代幻想文学的代表。其创作领域横跨幻想小说、科幻小说、恐怖小说、儿童小说、漫画以及歌词。他的作品不但部部畅销，更获奖无数。恐怖小说大师斯蒂芬·金称赞他是一个“装满了故事的宝库”。《文学传记辞典》将他列为十大后现代作家之一。

Neil Gaiman has written highly acclaimed books for both children and adults and is the first author to have won both the Carnegie and Newbery Medals for the same work - The Graveyard Book. The L.A. Times has described his multi-million-selling graphic novel series Sandman as `the greatest epic in the history of comic books'. Many of his books, including Coraline and Stardust, have been made into films, Neverwhere has been adapted for TV and radio and American Gods is in development as a major HBO series. He has also written two amazing episodes of Doctor Who and appeared in The Simpsons as himself. In 2013 he published his first adult novel for seven years, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which received stellar reviews and was a bestseller around the world.
