"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day..." Stardust finds three people trying to do just that...more or less... Tristan Thorn wants to secure the heart of his lady love who sent him in search of a fallen star; an old witch has determined to find the star as a sovereign remedy against all the snares of age and time; and Primus is following his father's dying order to procure the topaz necklace which knocked the star from the sky in order to assure his inheritance. This is a most satisfying read by a master storyteller. Filled with allusions to well-known tales, it is an expertly crafted tale.
"You have to believe, otherwise it will never happen."
