| Why it’s on the list | A young man from the village of Wall, on the border of Faerie, crosses over to fetch a fallen star for the girl he thinks he loves, and finds the star is a person with opinions of her own. Neil Gaiman wrote it deliberately in the pre-Tolkien English tradition of Dunsany and Hope Mirrlees — a straight fairy tale. |
