My new addition

Ordered, bought and read Neil Gaiman's Stardust yesterday. I loved it. Think Enid Blyton writing for a gaggle of adults open to the child in them and you have an idea of what Stardust is like. The story follows the adventures of young Tristran Thorn, as he sets out east into the land of the Faerie, thought the hole in the town of Wall, in search of the fallen star he promises his sweetheart in return for her hand in marriage. (Or, it may have been a kiss!)

Covering romance at all levels, interleaving well known fairy tales and an impish humor, the story satisfies... deeply! Wish he would write more like it. Well, not exactly like it, mind you, but more along the same lines.
