Back Cover:

Journey to Fantastica -- Where Dreams Become Reality

Unicorns, dragons, sprites, will-o'-the-wisps: the inhabitants of an enchanted world. And into
this world -- through the pages of an old book -- ventures Bastian, a lonely boy of ten or twelve. But
Fantastica is slowly decaying, its Childlike Empress dying. Only a real human being can set things right
by giving the Empress a new name. Bastian takes up the challenge, and finds himself crossing the
Swamps of Sadness and the Silver Mountains, meeting sorcerers and giants, bats and night-hobs,
gnomes and racing snails, as he journeys bravely toward the Ivory Tower. Bastian's quest is filled with all
the wonders of myth and fairy tale. It is a fantasy adventure that will capture your heart -- and recapture
the magical dreams of childhood.

"Another Watership Down, a work of remarkable and suggestive vision of what life can hold for those
who dare to look" -- The Economist

"You might just get in touch with the child in you who clapped her hands for Tinker Bell." -- Glamour

"A trumpet blast for the imagination" -- Sunday Times
