About the Author

Neil Gaiman is the celebrated author of books, graphic novels, short stories, films, and television for readers of all ages. Some of his most notable titles include the highly lauded #1 New York Times bestseller Norse Mythology; the groundbreaking and award-winning Sandman comic series; The Graveyard Book (the first book ever to win both the Newbery and Carnegie Medals); American Gods, winner of many awards and recently adapted into the Emmy-nominated Starz TV series (the second season slated to air in 2019); The Ocean at the End of the Lane, which was the UK’s National Book Award 2013 Book of the Year. Good Omens, which he wrote with Terry Pratchett a very long time ago (but not quite as long ago as Don’t Panic) and for which Gaiman wrote the screenplay, will air on Amazon and the BBC in 2019.

Editorial Reviews

Setting out to capture a star he sees fall in the distance, a young man crosses the wall between his village and a fairyland. Little does he know that the star is enchanted. With plenty of moxie and cheek, young English actors Sophie Rundle and Matthew Beard portray the, literally, star-crossed lovers in one of Neil Gaiman’s breeziest confections. As he does with all of his many BBC productions, award-winning director Dirk Maggs has created a rich landscape of sound effects and close recording techniques that will make listeners feel as if they’re right in the middle of the action. As an extra bonus the wonderful Eleanor Bron, who appeared in the Beatles’ movie HELP in 1965, narrates with a storyteller’s ease and generosity. B.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
