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.

Winning the Highlander’s Heart ( Highlanders book 1)
By Terry Spear
Countess Anice vows to flee the amorous advances of King Henry I, and return to her home in the Highlands, where she hopes to find a laird to wed. Highlander Laird Malcolm MacNeill, seeking an English bride, becomes entangled with the Scottish lass while trying to find out why her staff has vanished.
I listened to this on audio I’m not really used to audio books so took a while to get Into! But I really enjoyed it what’s not to love Hot Scottish highlanders,drama ,action and romance. Historic fiction is a big love of mine and this didn’t disappoint!

Along the way he picks up a runaway bride (Sally Field), and is also relentlessly pursued by Jackie Gleeson's unforgettable Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
Elements reminded me a bit of Wacky Races cartoon, or even that Roger Moore Bond film ('The Man with the Golden Gun', I think) where Bond's car has to jump over an out-of-commission bridge ...
