In the sleepy English countryside at the dawn of the Victorian Era, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to beautiful Victoria Forester. But Victoria is cold and distant -- as distant, in fact, as the star she and Tristran see fall from the sky on a crisp October evening. For the coveted prize of Victoria's hand, Tristran vows to retrieve the fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends the lovelorn swain into a world that is strange beyond imagining, a world populated by evil old witches, deadly clutching trees, and goblin press-gangs -- a world redeemed only by true love. \nThis oversized hardcover edition of STARDUST allows the breathtaking art of Charles Vess to be seen in its finest presentation, and ties in to the film version of STARDUST.

Tristran Thorn's falling star has turned out to be a very angry young woman, crippled by a broken leg and mysteriously bound to carry the very object that caused her injury. The last thing she wants is to be dragged across Faerie and given to Tristran's girlfriend. With little understanding of what he faces, Tristran must begin their journey back to the village of Wall--and retain his nerve as sinister forces vying for the star converge on a mountain inn for a terrifying climax.
