The Neverending Story - Michael Ende

Translated to English from the original German by Ralph Manheim. A pudgy, lonely, motherless schoolboy enters the magical world of Fantasiana when he steals a beautifully bound book and begins “The Neverending Story.” As he follows the marvelous adventures of the exotic creatures, he learns that only a human from the real world can save this kingdom and that he must enter the story to help them and himself.
