E-book extra: Neil Gaiman's "Writing and the Imagination."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.

Such an amazing little book, and now I need to rewatch the movie for the 4th time. In honesty it's probably 4.5-4.75 stars, but I won't give Goodreads the satisfaction of a 4 star rating for this incredible book.
I would've liked this much better had I not already seen the lovely film, which is very different from the book. This is why I like to experience the book version of a story before the film version.
This book is a gem, an universal statement to the power of imagination, story telling and the magical world inside all of us
