Gaiman's grandfather changed his original family name of Chaiman to Gaiman.[10] His father, David Bernard Gaiman, worked in the same chain of stores;[11] his mother, Sheila Gaiman (née Goldman), was a pharmacist. He has two younger sisters, Claire and Lizzy.[12]


Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott After living for a period in the nearby town of Portchester, Hampshire, where Neil was born in 1960, the Gaimans moved in 1965 to the West Sussex town of East Grinstead, where his parents studied Dianetics at the Scientology centre in the town; one of Gaiman's sisters works for the Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott Church of Scientology in Los Angeles. His other sister, Lizzy Calcioli, has said, "Most of our social activities were involved with Scientology or our Jewish family. It would get very confusing when people would ask my religion as a kid. I'd say, 'I'm a Jewish Scientologist.'" Gaiman says that he Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott is not a Scientologist, and that like Judaism, Scientology is his family's religion.[13] About his personal views, Gaiman has stated,
"I think we can say that God exists in the DC Universe. I would not stand up and beat the drum for the existence of God in this universe. I Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott don't know, I think there's probably a 50/50 chance. It doesn't really matter to me."[14]


Gaiman was able to read at the age of four. He said, "I was a reader. I loved reading. Reading things gave me pleasure. I was very good at most subjects in school, not because Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott I had any particular aptitude in them, but because normally on the first day of school they'd hand out schoolbooks, and I'd read them—which would mean that I'd know what was coming up, because I'd read it."[15] When he was about ten years old, he read his way through the Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott works of Dennis Wheatley, where especially The Ka of Gifford Hillary and The Haunting of Toby Jugg made an impact on him.[16] One work that made a particular impression on
him was J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings from his school library.

He later won the school English prize and the school reading prize, enabling him to finally acquire the third volume.[17]


For his seventh birthday, Gaiman received C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia series. Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott He later recalled that "I admired his use of parenthetical statements to the reader, where he would just talk to you ... I'd think, 'Oh, my gosh, that is so cool! I want to do that! When I become an author, I want to be able to do things in Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott parentheses.' I liked the power of putting things in brackets."[17] Narnia also introduced him to literary awards, specifically the 1956 Carnegie Medal won by the concluding volume. When Gaiman won the 2010 Medal himself, the press reported him recalling, "it
had to be the most important literary award there ever Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott was"[6] and observing, "if you can make yourself aged seven happy, you're really doing well – it's like writing a letter to yourself aged seven."[5]


Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was another childhood favourite, and "a favourite forever. Alice was default reading to the point where I knew it Download Off Speed PDF mobi epub Terry McDermott by heart."[17] He also enjoyed Batman comics as a child.[17]


Gaiman was educated at several Church of England schools, including Fonthill School in East Grinstead,[18] Ardingly College (1970–74), and Whitgift School in Croydo
