This sequel to The Neverending Story follows the
adventures of schoolboy Bastian and the young warrior Atreyu on their quest to save the enchanted land of
Fantasia from destruction. Obstacles along the way
include a beautiful but evil enchantress who tempts
Bastian with wishes that dull his memory and his powers
of imagination -- the weapons he needs to counteract the
destructive forces of Nothingness that threaten to wipe
out Fantasia. Meanwhile, back at
home, Bastian's indifferent father gains new respect for
his son as he reads of the boy's heroic journey through
the fictional landscape.
Young Bastian and his friends in Fantasia continue their
fantastic, philosophical adventure. This time Bastian
must battle an evil witch who threatens to destroy the
imaginary world that reading books helps create.
