About This Book
Stardust is an utterly charming fairy tale in the tradition of The
Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. Neil Gaiman, creator of the
darkly elegant Sandman comics and author of The Day I Swapped My Dad for
Two Goldfish, tells the story of young Tristran Thorn and his adventures
in the land of Faerie. One fateful night, Tristran promises his beloved
that he will retrieve a fallen star for her from beyond the Wall that
stands between their rural English town (called, appropriately, Wall)
and the Faerie realm. No one ever ventures beyond the Wall except to
attend an enchanted flea market that is held every nine years (and
during which, unbeknownst to him, Tristran was conceived). But Tristran
bravely sets out to fetch the fallen star and thus win the hand of his
love. His adventures in the magical land will keep you turning pages as
fast as you can--he and the star escape evil old witches, deadly
clutching trees, goblin press-gangs, and the scheming sons of the dead
Lord of Stormhold. The story is by turns thrillingly scary and very
funny. You'll love goofy, earnest Tristran and the talking animals,
gnomes, magic trees, and other irresistible denizens of Faerie that he
encounters in his travels. Stardust is a perfect read-aloud book, a
brand-new fairy tale you'll want to share with a kid, or maybe hoard for
yourself. (If you read it to kids, watch out for a couple of spicy sex
bits and one epithet.) --Therese Littleton
