Stardust…
Just finished watching Stardust with the boys, and it kept us all riveted. I loved all the little details:
The snowdrop flower, the goat-man, the ghosts of the ‘slaughtered prince’ brothers…
And how it was all framed by the world outside of Stormhold.
Lovely, just lovely. Two thumbs heartily up!
It reminded me a great deal of my beloved Princess Bride, which, after many, many viewings, and a mention on Diana Peterfreund’s blog, I finally read the book. And of course I enjoyed it very much. So…it was a natural inclination for me to hustle into the office the minute the movie was over to place a library hold on Stardust, the book. I’m excited!

I’ve never seen Stardust, but will have to put it on my hold list at the library. Thanks for the tip.

The book was amazing but I had no idea there was a movie! I need to check that out.
Virginia, hope you like the Princess Bride! It IS wonderful!
