‘I wanted to write a story that would feel, to the reader, like something he or she had always known’ NEIL GAIMAN



At the dawn of the Victorian era, life moves leisurely in the sleepy village of Wall.

Young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and, to win her love, vows to bring her a star they see fall from the night sky.

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 . . .

NEIL GAIMAN.
WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.



**Includes ‘Wall, A Prologue’, reading-group discussion questions and an interview with Neil Gaiman**

A very fine and imaginative writer

'Gaiman has a rich imagination...and an ability to tackle large themes'

It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story
David Mitchell
To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliche, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer, Laureate of the Republic of Letters

Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story

While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life

A god in the universe of story
