Summary
Originally published as a series of comic books, this is a collection of traditional English, Scots, and Irish ballads, as interpreted such premiere fantasy writers as Neil Gaiman, Jane Yolen, and Charles de Lint, and illustrated by the beautiful pre-Raphaelite-inspired black-and-white art of Charles Vess. Included are such classics as "Thomas the Rhymer," "Tam Lin" and "Alison Gross." There's a detailed discography at the end of the book by folk music journalist Ken Roseman, listing the bands who perform versions of these ballads, and on which albums they can be found.

Media Reviews
"Vess approaches...[these ballads] with an appropriately elegant style. His exquisitely detailed art delightfully recalls the Pre-Raphaelites here, Aubrey Beardsley there and elsewhere Windsor McCay or Gustave Dore."

Stardust
by Neil Gaiman
In the tranquil fields and meadows of long-ago England, there is a small hamlet that has stood on a jut of granite for 600 years. Just to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here, in the hamlet of Wall, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. And here, one crisp October eve, Tristran makes his love a promise -- an impetuous vow that will send him through the only breach in the wall, across the pasture...and into the most exhilarating adventure of his life.
