+1 for Mort. It is fantastic. And it is about death, so it's highly, should I dare say, appropriate for the occasion. The Wee Free Men and Dodger are also nice

+1 for Mort. It is fantastic. And it is about death, so it's highly, should I dare say, appropriate for the occasion. The Wee Free Men and Dodger are also nice to read. They focus a bit less on humour, being geared a little more towards children. Don't expect to laugh all the time. But the settings of these stories are magical.
