Now a major motion picture—this charming fairy tale by the #1 New York Times bestselling author, weaves a magical story set long ago in the tiny English village of Wall, a place where things are not quite what they seem.
Go and catch a falling star . . .
Tristran Thorn promises to bring back a fallen star for his beloved, the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester—and crosses the wall that divides his English country town from another, more dangerous world of lords and witches, all of them in search of the star. Rich with adventure and magic, Stardust is one of master storyteller Neil Gaiman's most beloved tales.
“Eminently readable—a charming piece of work.”
—Washington Post Book World
“Beautiful, memorable . . . A book full of marvels.”
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
I love Neil Gaiman, both as an author and a narrator. His voice has such power and presence, it's hard not to get drawn in. If you liked the movie, get the book - it's different enough to be refreshing and new, and gives you a great deal of backstory missing from the movie.
