Editor's Notes
 
When ten-year-old Bastian is inexplicably drawn to a mysterious old book, he is transported through its pages to a world beyond his wildest imagination; an enchanted kingdom populated by dragons, unicorns, giants and sprites. A loner who is tormented by bullies, Bastian becomes the unlikely hero of the story when he joins forces with young warrior Atreyu to save Fantastica from the dark power, The Nothing, and find a cure for its dying Empress. Drawing on a hitherto hidden strength, he must cross the Swamps of Sadness and the Silver Mountains to reach the infamous Ivory Tower; only then can he conclude his quest and return home. The overwhelming winner in our Readers' Choice survey, The Neverending Story is published as a spectacular collector’s edition to mark Folio’s 75th anniversary. From the beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Marie-Alice Harel to the decorative chapter openers and opulent art silk binding, this edition is a must-have for anyone who was captivated by this extraordinary book in childhood and remains under its spell today.
