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. <P>This trade paperback edition of STARDUST is timed to tie in to the Paramount Pictures movie starring Clair Danes, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert DeNiro. 6595409 book 1998 Stardust: Being a Romance Within the Realms of Faerie (Graphic Novel) total:999|5:435|4:372|3:159|2:29|1:4| 999 4202 1410 105 5 3 false false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 18:57:42 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 18:58:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Nov 02 10:45:28 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 06 23:11:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 2 true false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Mar 19 12:13:53 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 14 21:04:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 12:04:56 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 12:22:49 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat May 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 13:58:35 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 13:58:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat May 16 14:19:08 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 14:26:16 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 21 19:21:07 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 11:42:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 23 15:50:57 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 10:11:03 -0800 2008 2 Neil Gaiman's stuff, so when my wife and I were on a rare outing to see a movie, Stardust was a natural compromise.

It wasn't bad. It seemed, somehow, a little light and flat; amusing and well-done, but not something we would pick up on DVD.
