Description

"A twisting, wondrous tale full of magic that only Neil Gaiman could have written."
--Chicago Tribune

"Beautiful, memorable . . . A book full of marvels."
--Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Among the wondrous, beautiful, and strange literary offspring conceived by Sandman creator, multi-award winner, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman (Anasi Boys, Neverwhere, American Gods, Coraline, The Graveyard Book), his magical 1997 fantasy novel, Stardust, remains a top favorite. An enchanting adult fairy tale about a young man who travels beyond the boundaries of his small village to find a fallen star and win the heart of the woman he loves--the basis for the hit motion picture starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Sienna Miller, Claire Danes, and Robert DeNiro--Gaiman's glorious fable is now available in a special keepsake edition. Here is a gift of Stardust--beautifully packaged, with a special new introduction by the author--that every Neil Gaiman devotee will want to receive.
