| Stardust: Being a Romance Within the Realms of Faerie
| | Neil Gaiman
| In the sleepy English countryside at the dawn of the Victorian era lies the village of Wall - a secluded hamlet that derives its name from an imposing stone barrier that surrounds a fertile grassland. The leisurely pace in Wall is disrupted only once every nine years as the mortal and magical meet upon the meadow for a market fair like no other.
It is here in Wall that young Tristran Thorn loses his heart to the town beauty - a woman who is as cold and distant as the star she and Tristran see fall from the sky on a crisp October evening. To gain the hand of his beloved, Tristran rashly vows to fetch the fallen star and embarks upon a lover's quest that will carry him over the ancient wall and into a world beyond his wildest imaginings...
A tale of romance, magic, and glamour, the multiple award-winning NEIL GAIMAN AND CHARLES VESS' STARDUST is a spellbinding story, lavishly illustrated and lyrically written by two masters of their craft.
