A book that makes the sound of turning pages fractionally too early, infuriating its readers; a diary shared by two children with painful secrets; a photo album left by a dying father for when his daughter gets married . . .

From the comically irreverent to the heart-rending to the heart-warming, The Neverending Book delves into all that a book can be, forming an enchanting compendium that reveals the ways in which we interact with books, and the importance they hold in our hearts - all told through the tale of two subjects gathering stories about books for their blind, book-loving king.
