Just A Sprinkling Of Stardust

Online, October 16, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Neil Gaiman's book Stardust was a wonderful classic the first time around, follow the young Tristran in his journey out of the village of Wall, in search of the fallen star. Yvaine, the fallen star, obviously takes a dislike to the man seeking to kidnap her. But, wouldn't you know it, they eventually realise their love for one another. A glorious book, so much so that the film adaptation is just as wonderful.

The film Stardust has earned a total of $135,553,760 worldwide. Its biggest markets were the US where it made $38 million, and the UK where it made $31 million (which is roughly £19.5 million). This is a film witch features all manner of magic creatures, from cat-eared fairies, to fallen stars that are people, to witches and unicorns. No doubt the re-release of the book will spawn a new generation of love for the book and the film.

This is why Fancy Dress Outfitters are preparing their witch and fairy costumes well in advance. They are aware of the popularity of the book and the film. One member of staff has a deep connection with the book, and a love of the film. She told us, "To know Gaiman is re-releasing the book makes me really happy. The children who couldn't read in 1998 who hadn't heard of the book will now no doubt be able to read it, when they do hear about it. It's heart-warming to think of all the people who will know of this book now, thanks to the re-release. The costumes of the film are glorious, too."

So with so much excitement around the books re-release, and the film's anticipated new popularity because of it, it is not surprising that Fancy Dress Outfitters are using this as a time to get their large selection of witch and fairy costumes stocked and ready.
