It is an oath that sends him over the town's ancient wall and into the mysterious land of Faerie - a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining....

Critic reviews

"Gaiman's silver-tongued narration vividly brings this production to life. Like the bards of old, Gaiman is equally proficient at telling tales as he is at writing them, and his pleasant British accent feels like a perfect match to the material." (Publishers Weekly)

"A fairy tale for everyone from 'one of the best fabulists of our age." (Financial Times)

"Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland." (Elif Shafak)

Most relevant

This is a complete pleasure! Neil Gaiman reads his own work beautifully, he has a particularly nice voice, and adds a nuance that is often lacking in audiobook narration. If you saw the film and liked it, then this fills in all the gaps. The ending is different to the film (and all the better for it). I even went out and bought a copy of the book!

So now I want to get more Neil Gaiman stuff, and sadly Audible don't have that much. Requests please for Coraline and Neverwhere....

Stardust - a pleasure from beginning to end!

If you like a story to entertain rather than educate then you won't go wrong with this: there is mystery, love, magic- both good and bad-and a hero whose destiny is not what he expects. I am a fan of Neil Gaiman and I know this story well so to have it read to me by an excellent narrator is icing on the cake!

An entertaining story well read.

Neil Gaiman's imagination is prolific. Characterisation and plot are very good. Wall is a great metaphor for the line between this earthbound existence and the world of imagination. There are plenty of well drawn characters and lots of twisting plot lines. The humour is dry and the development of the romance is the better for it. The differences between the book and the film means that both can be enjoyed for their own stories but similar enough to feel connected to the characters.

There is glitter!
