The Neverending Story Gets a Dazzling New Release From the Folio Society

Most people are familiar with The Neverending Story thanks to the 1984 fantasy film and its relentlessly catchy theme song. But before it was a movie, it was a book — and the Folio Society has just released a stunning new version of Michael Ende’s tale. Gizmodo has a look inside, including some exclusive images, to share today.

This release was translated by Ralph Manheim and features illustrations by Marie-Alice Harel. The Neverending Story was specially selected by Folio readers to celebrate the publisher’s 75th anniversary.
