Spellbound

At the July meeting of the ROYAL Book Club (Readers of Young Adult Literature), we’ll be discussing Stardust by Neil Gaiman, a terrifc “crossover” book that appeals to teens and adults. Book club selections are 20% off at Spellbound through the date of the meeting. Anyone 18 and over is welcome to attend; no RSVP necessary. Come alone or bring a friend!

Please note that due to July 4th holiday we are meeting on the second Sunday in July instead of the first.

In the sleepy English countryside of decades past, there is a town that has stood on a jut of granite for six hundred years. And immediately to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here in the town of Wall, Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. One crisp October night, as they watch, a star falls from the sky, and Victoria promises to marry Tristran if he’ll retrieve that star and bring it back for her. It is this promise that sends Tristran through the only gap in the wall, across the meadow, and into the most unforgettable adventure of his life.
