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!
Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall - named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristan Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristan vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining...
About the Author
Neil Gaiman is a messy-haired white male author trapped in the body of an identical white male author with perhaps even less-tidy hair. His books and comics have won many awards. He thanks you for your offer of a comb but does not believe it would do any good. Despite being English, he lives more in America than he does anywhere else in the world, and is currently somewhere in his mid-forties.
