Stardust

Stardust seems not to have been written by human hand.  The words on the pages must have been originally forged by the creatures of Faerie, or even the stars in the sky, and simply dictated to Neil Gaiman.  The story has many interesting and original parts -- there is a boat that fishes lightning -- and seems to run on pure imagination and cause the reader to stop for wistful glances.  I would recommend this book.
