Critic reviews

"Gaiman's silver-tongued narration vividly brings this production to life. Like the bards of old, Gaiman is equally proficient at telling tales as he is at writing them, and his pleasant British accent feels like a perfect match to the material." (Publishers Weekly)

"A fairy tale for everyone from 'one of the best fabulists of our age." (Financial Times)

"Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland." (Elif Shafak)

Amazing Story!

I first got to know Stardust from the movie. The story hooked me for so many years until now. I am so happy that I get the chance to listen to the audiobook by the author himself. The bonus interview at the end of this audiobook gave me a different insight on this book. Overall, you must listen to this book if you are the fan of Stardust!

Delicious

The book is a much more nuanced tale than the movie, but equally delightful and beautifully read.

One of the best audiobooks I’ve experienced

Neil Gaiman brings his own book to life with his unique gentle narration. I’ll be listening to this again in the next couple of years.
