The neverending story book7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() This epic work of the imagination has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide since it was first published more than a decade ago. Opening line: This inscription could be seen on the glass door of a small shop, but naturally this was only the way it looked if you were inside the dimly lit shop, looking out at the street through the plate glass door. I thought the end of 2020, that very strange and unsettling year, was a perfect time to revisit the old favorite and see if it holds up to the test of time. But – as anyone who has read the book knows – it only tells half the story. I still have immense amounts of love for that movie, its music and imagery, and the way it shows how books can transport you to a different world. Even though I grew up in Austria where Michael Ende’s books are put into most young readers’ hands early on, my first contact with The Neverending Story was through the movie (that Michael Ende hated, btw). ![]()
