Stardust – Neil Gaiman

Love in the land of Faerie at it’s best.

In an effort to win the heart of a young lady, Tristan ventures past the city wall and into the land of Faerie to retrieve a fallen star. Filled with witches, ghosts, and a variety of other strange beings, the story is full of adventure.

Gaiman is a well respected fantasy writer, and this book is a fine example of why. His characters are well developed, and the story draws you in from the beginning, and holds you tightly until the end.

A Modern faerie tale destined to become a classic.

Now a movie, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, and Robert DeNiro.

Gaiman is terrific. Another good one of his is NEVERWHERE. Charles de Lint writes good urban fantasy. Who likes mythic fantasy, or anything except epic fantasy?
