'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.

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
