Effective opening lines can also tell us about the struggle of the protagonist whose adventure we are about to follow...

"There was once a young man who wished to gain his Heart's Desire."
-Stardust by Neil Gaiman

@franciscawrites @bookstodon very good book and example.

I read this aloud with my ten year old daughter. I didn't expect the sex scene. I had to do some quick real-time editing... "and ... gasp! erm... then the boy and the fairy became very good friends!"
😂

Thanks, @neilgaiman !

@franciscawrites @bookstodon @neilgaiman I will never forget this.

Also, some dark scenes with unfriendly unicorn 🦄. Great book, but not for children. Still one of my favorite Gaiman books.
