Stardust by Neil Gaiman: Tristran Thorn, a 17-year-old boy in the city village of Wall, promises the woman he loves to bring her the falling star they see one night. In return, she promises him anything he desires, though she is neither interested in him nor taking him seriously. From there begins the wonderful fairytale of Tristran’s journey to retrieve the star. Though it’s not particularly suspenseful or dramatic or funny, it is a delightful piece of fantasy storytelling, perfect for a rainy afternoon’s escape.
