November Book Discussion: Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Wednesday, November 30th @ 5:30pm | ZOOM | Tristran Thorn will do anything to win the cold heart of beautiful Victoria Forester—even fetch her the star they watch fall from the night sky. But to do so, he must enter the unexplored lands on the other side of the ancient wall that gives their tiny village its name. Beyond that stone barrier, Tristran learns, lies Faerie...where nothing not even a fallen star, is what he imagined, and the most exhilarating adventure of the young man's life awaits.
