Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess's Stardust (New Edition): Being a Romance Within the Realms of Faerie (Neil Gaiman's Stardust)

Studied for degree. Don't normally like this sort of tale but i actually found this good and then went on to watch the film.

A wonderful absorbing illustrated novel! The story—so evocative of fairy stories, yet with disarmingly adult moments—works together with the brilliant illustrations to create a truly enchanting experience. Loved it!

I’ve seen the movie multiple times and love it but never got round to reading the book. The graphic novel is every bit as brilliant as the movie, filled with larger than life characters and magic. This is a gorgeous graphic novel. The illustrations are of a very high quality and quite beautiful at times. They really help bring the book to life. I loved this book. Every page was a delight to read. I can’t quite get over how gorgeous the illustrations are. The book includes the original book proposal for Stardust which is full of illustrations as well which was an extra treat.

I got my book a few hours ago. Quick delivery, from placement of order. This looks very good! It's mostly text, but has lots of wonderfully coloured illustrations, throughout the book. This is not a graphic novel! That said, I'm very happy with this lovely book! Very good. Thanks.

Stardust in all its forms, movie and written word, are a firm favourite in my family. Each subtly different but standing on their own merits.Adding the illustrations of Charles Vess adds another beautiful dimension to a wonderful story.A story that doesn’t condescending a masterclass in ‘show, don’t tell’ leaving you wanting more of the world Gaiman has created

How can I improve on the plaudits that have already been heaped upon Stardust by other reviewers? I can’t, if you’ve not read Stardust yet go and do so, if you have already then, do as I’ve done and read it again, you’ll never be disappointed.

For some reason Kindle has this paired with another edition of the same book, presenting them as if they are Volume 1 and Volume 2. This one contains the entire story, you don't have to buy '2 of 2' as it appears to be just an earlier printing of the exact same content -- perhaps less. You can enjoy all of this great story in this edition along with some extra illustrations and notes from the creators.

Great second hand copy in good condition

Muito lindo, um conto de fadas adulto que encanta qualquer amante de contos de fada. Pena não ternuma edição em português assim tão bem ilustrada.

My love affair with Neil Gaiman continues.Tristran Thorn lives in the village of Wall. A very special town that holds a very special market every nine years through the gap in the town’s wall. A market that brings villagers, strangers, and the people who live beyond the wall together. Tristran has never been allowed to go to the market, but when he promises his one true love that he will retrieve a falling star that landed beyond the wall as proof of his devotion, he soon discovers a world that is beyond his imaginings.This story is filled with all the wonder, magic, and danger you expect from a fairy tale. I loved every written word. This story satisfies the part of me that still lives believes that magic is real, that fairies exist, and monsters are always lurking nearby. Neil Gaiman has become one of my favorite authors. I struggle between devouring the book, or reading it slowly to savor every morsel.Originally published as a series of graphic novels for DC, Stardust has been been released in a text only novel, made into a movie, and also released in this gorgeously illustrated novel.I opted to listen to the audiobook (narrated by Neil, himself) while I followed along with the book. I love when the author narrates the book; you get their full intention for their story. Between Neil’s narration and Charles Vess’s illustrations, this story literally jumps off the page. Once the story finishes, there’s a wonderful interview done with Neil, and lots of notes and images about the writing and illustration process in the illustrated book.Kindle Unlimited members can currently download the illustrated edition as part of their membership.

Definitely recommended for each one of you who wants to relive true fantasy and a world full of magic. We often forget that magic comes with uncertainty, whenever magic is introduced in a book nobody can be certain of the things that might happen in te story. And this is what Neil Gaiman did in this book, he completely blowed my mind by doing things which are totally beyond this world. Through this book he took magic and magical beings to a whole new level.

I saw the movie which is nice and Therefore decided to read the bookThe story is nice but Neil gaiman’s style of narrating is not very engaging

This is a larger copy of Gaiman's novel that is approximately A4 size. I purchased this edition is because it is illustrated and will make a fantastic addition to my book collection. The artwork is gorgeous and the plot is, of course, nothing less than you would expect from Neil Gaiman, who is a master of crafting worlds beyond the "walls" of our daily existence.
