Status Updates From La historia interminable

The thought about the connection between Phantasién and the "real world" is surprisingly complex for a YA novel when you think it through. And surprisingly topical even though Ende couldn't have foreseen fake news.
Just began the second half when the story shifts from Atreju to Bastian who just began his power dream as creator.

Wonderful red and green print for reality and Phantásien. 26 chapters from A-Z, each introduced with a one-page drawing of the letter and starting with a word using it. In it, Bastian reads the very same book, a never-ending nesting structure. AURYN, the amulet of the childlike empress, features two snakes eating each other. A thoughtful construction, loving details, fantasy shall never end.
