Stardust by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess is a magnificent story. It is a fairy tale meant for teens and adults with a touch of action and a hint of blood and gore, while keeping it mystical and whimsical. The fast-moving story keeps the reader in a run to follow the characters through the strange events and misfortunes that befall them all the way to the heartwarming ending. The story itself fires up the imagination with all the people and places Gaiman conjures up; the Lilim and Lords of Stormhold from Faerie, and of course Tristen and Yvaine from the sky. Add the outstanding illustrations to the story, and you have as much of a fairy tale as you can get.
