Then, through the pages of an ancient, mysterious book, he discovers the enchanted world of Fantastica, and only Bastian himself can save the fairy people who live there.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Unicorns, dragons, sprites, will-o'-the-wisps: the inhabitants of an enchanted world.

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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An instantaneous leap into the magical ...
