Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess
Collects Stardust #1-4
Every nine years, a fair is held in the village of Wall. Every nine years, the worlds of Faerie and man mingle instead of touch. Tristan Thorn is born of a union between a fairy woman and a mortal man, is raised as a man, and travels to Faerie to find a fallen star and his heart's desire.
Once in Faerie, he learns more than he probably wanted about the realm, about its inhabitants, about himself, and about what it is he wants.
Gaiman and Vess tell a modern fantasy fairy tale, both in pictures and words, and take you away to a magical land. Perhaps you will live happily ever after.
Published in England by Titan Books, in hardback format.
