Journey to Fantasica--
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. 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 dream of childhood.
