The author of Coraline, Neil Gaiman, developed his passion for literature in libraries. As a child, he often begged his parents to drop him off at the library on their way to work. There, he could spend an entire day reading books. Some of his childhood inspirations included The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia series. Stories like these paved the way for him to become a writer with great imagination.
