What to expect

A FAIRY TALE FOR EVERYONE.

THE ACCLAIMED, ENCHANTING FILM ADAPTATION STARS ROBERT DE NIRO, CLAIRE DANES, RUPERT EVERETT, MICHELLE PFEIFFER AND MANY MORE FAVOURITES...

'Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland' ELIF SHAFAK

'Gaiman describes the indescribable' SUSANNA CLARKE

'A tonic for these turbulent times' IRISH TIMES

---

'I wanted to write a story that would feel, to the reader, like something he or she had always known' NEIL GAIMAN

---

At the dawn of the Victorian era, life moves leisurely in the sleepy village of Wall.

Young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and, to win her love, vows to bring her a star they see fall from the night sky.

It is an oath that sends him over the town's ancient wall and into the mysterious land of Faerie - a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining . . .

NEIL GAIMAN.
WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

Critics Review

It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story
Observer
To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliche, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer, Laureate of the Republic of Letters
David Mitchell
Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story
Stephen King
While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life
Independent
A god in the universe of story
Stephen Fry
Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation
Philip Pullman
Intimate, erudite and illuminating
Guillermo del Toro
A very fine and imaginative writer
The Times
'Gaiman has a rich imagination...and an ability to tackle large themes'
Philip Pullman
