Summary
Matthew Beard and Sophie Rundle star in a brand-new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of the best-selling novel by Neil Gaiman, narrated by Eleanor Bron.
Challenged to retrieve a fallen star, Tristran Thorn leaves the sleepy English village of Wall and crosses into the land of Faerie and the realm of Stormhold. Locating the star, he discovers it is no meteorite but a young woman, Yvaine.
When Yvaine evades him and escapes, Tristran discovers he is not the only one in pursuit of the star: there are dark forces in this magical land, and he must find Yvaine before she falls into their clutches. As he does so, Tristran will uncover the secret to his own identity and a fate beyond his wildest dreams.
Directed by Dirk Maggs and Heather Larmour, and featuring over 35 minutes of unbroadcast material, this stunning new dramatisation boasts an extensive cast including Frances Barber, Maggie Steed, Nicholas Boulton, Blake Ritson, Bryan Dick, Charlotte Riley, Aisling Loftus, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Alex Macqueen, Matthew Beard and Sophie Rundle. There are also cameo appearances by Tori Amos and Neil Gaiman. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.

great adaptation
I loved the film of this book, and enjoyed this adaptation too - there are inevitably differences, but the magical feel is the same.

Amazingly performed
This audiobook is a joy to listen to - incredibly well performed, including a host of brilliant narrators for each character (complete with accents, and clear pronounciation and enunciation), and even sound effects for the story! I couldn't believe it when it was over :(

One of Neil's best writing
Really an amazing listen and the book is at least as good as this dramatisation! I enjoyed every second of it and couldn't take a break from it!

A great multi voiced adaption - Neil Gaman and Dirk Maggs are the forerunners and leaders of Fantasy Fiction
