描述
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 spellbinding tale of romance, magic, and glamour, NEIL GAIMAN AND CHARLES VESS' STARDUST is lyrically written and lavishly illustrated by the same acclaimed creative team that crafter the World Fantasy Award-winning story "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and the Eisner Award-winning series finaled "The Tempest" for THE SANDMAN. This new and expanded trade paperback edition features a wealth of behind-the-scenes bonus material, including Gaimans original series proposal and a host of preliminary sketches and supplementary artwork from Vess.

La pelicula es mejor... esta vez... Soy de esas que opina que el libro siempre es mejor que la película pero, en este caso no es tan así. Algunas partes me dejaron con un sabor amargo en la boca.
I loved this book! It's been awhile since I've picked up a book I wasn't able to put down. I did see the movie (multiple times!) before I read the book. I didn't even know that it was a book... (Same for Coraline).Although there were parts where I needed to concentrate a little more than other parts, I loved it. I've always liked how books will pull together different parts of the book SPOILER like when the slave girl of the woman who showed up at the beginning of the novel was in actuality the daughter of the lord of Stormhold, making Tristran the new lord. END SPOILERI guess I really don't know what else to say, just go read it if you haven't ;)
