WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

I decided to read this book some years after watching the movie for about four or five times. It used to be my favorite movie back then and I'm probably still secretly in love with it. It's such a simple yet enchanting story, it just gets my imagination going and from there I can't stop. I just build more of Wall and Faerie in my mind and, most likely, days after finishing the book I'll still be fantasizing about all of it (the same happened with the movie). I love the world Gaiman created and I need more beautiful fairytales like this one.

This special gift edition will be beautifully packaged in a smaller trim size with a one-piece fine cloth case, a gold-stamped cover, and a whimsical interior design, featuring a frontispiece illustration and line chapter opener ornamentation by noted artist Charles Vess. It will also contain an introductory note by Neil Gaiman.
Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria Forester—even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. Beyond that stone barrier, Tristran learns, lies Faerie . . . and the most exhilarating adventure of the young man's life.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman comes a tale of the dark and miraculous—a quest for true love and the utterly impossible.
