For my summer reading project I chose Stardust, by Neil Gaiman. There are several important underlying themes and ideas in this novel. Several important ideas that appear frequently in this book are: adventure and a journey. While reading I found several main themes that encompass this novel and others. The main theme of the book is that a journey can change a person or a group of people for the better. Another important theme of the book is that trust can go a long way.

Stardust Article
There is an article Neil Gaiman wrote for The Guardian about the importance of fairytales. He says that they were originally written for adults but changed to appeal to children. He says he wrote Stardust because he wanted a fantasy tale in the style of pre-Tolkien fairy tale writers that appealed to and older crowd.
