1984. I was all of 5.
I think I first saw this in the later 80s,round about Primary 5 or 6 or thereabouts.
I've been traumatised by the swamp of despair and what happened to Artrax ever since.
Framed as a story within a story (see also: 'The Princess Bride'), this follows Bastian who takes refuge in a bookstore when he is chased by bullies: a bookstore in which he encounters the book 'The Neverending Story': a book in which the land of Fantasia is threatened by the nothingness and which seemingly talks directly to him as he reads it whilst hiding in a school attic.
Maybe a bit dated now, but for its time? Enjoyable enough.

Dragon Prince ( Dragon prince book 1)
By Melanie Rawn
Nominated for the 1989 John W. Campbell Award, this book tells the story of Rohan, who has become the new prince of the desert. Rohan seeks to bring peace to his world of divided nations.
This was loaned to me from a friend and I’m so glad she did! The world and character building was just fantastic. Despite it having a very intricate story it was done so well and flowed nicely. Reminds me of those fantasy stories that were so popular in the 80s so it was nice to read a book full of fantasy and adventure. Looking forward to reading more by this author!
