ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende tells the tale of Bastian, a lonely boy who discovers an old book. As he reads, he is drawn into the enchanted world of Fantastica, a realm filled with mythical creatures. However, Fantastica is in grave danger as its Childlike Empress is dying, and the land is slowly decaying. A prophecy foretells that only a human child can save Fantastica by giving the Empress a new name. Bastian embarks on a quest through wondrous and perilous landscapes, encountering various inhabitants of Fantastica. The story explores themes of imagination, reality, the power of stories, and the importance of dreams.
