It is here in Wall that young Tristran Thorn loses his heart to the town beauty-a woman who is as cold and distant as the star she and Tristran see fall from the sky on a crisp October evening. To gain the hand of his beloved, Tristran rashly vows to fetch the fallen star and embarks upon a lover's quest that will carry him over the ancient wall and into a world beyond his wildest imagings.
Neil Gaiman's Stardust features the New York Times best-selling author ( The Sandman) and one of the industry's best illustrators at the height of their creative powers.

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.
