[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series. These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library.

_______<\/p>\n

Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust<\/em>, Coraline<\/em>, and Dream Hunters<\/em> (all on the English Lounge bookshelf), is one of the most celebrated fantasy writers in the world today. This book, like Coraline<\/em>, is very much a fairy tale. There are witches, a unicorn, magic, flying through the sky, goblins, etc. But it is also creative, charming, and quite unique.<\/p>\n

Stardust<\/em> is the story of a Star who has fallen from the sky in a fantasy world. The Star is being chased by several princes (who need her to become king), some witches (who want to eat her heart), and a young man from England (who promised to bring a fallen star to a girl he is in love with). There are many surprises and twists and turns in the story, which keeps it interesting. The language is also not especially difficult.<\/p>\n

Stardust<\/em> was also made into a movie. You can see the trailer here: https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/video\/vi4018471193\/?playlistId=tt0486655&ref_=tt_pr_ov_vi<\/a><\/p>\n

My two cents: <\/strong>The movie and the book are quite different. You can learn about Hollywood values by seeing what was changed\u2026but for English practice, I recommend watching the movie first and reading the book second.<\/p>\n
