Sarah Broadhurst's view...
A beautiful legend for adults or children, the story of a boy who chases a fallen star and get so much more than he bargains for! Gaiman is a master storyteller, one of the best in this genre and this gentle adventure is an absolute gem. Simple and short, magical and exciting, I can only hope the film will follow it faithfully!
