You’ll have to take it up with the author (who died in 1995, by the way). So maybe there’s a hint of “clap your hands if you believe in fairies” in it.
Which is a theme I’ve been harping on ever since I started writing for MuggleNet! But it’s also about the way the magical world of make-believe - the world that exists in stories - depends on people in our world to keep it going. This book is (well, partly) all about names. If you think that’s a cool name, there are more where it came from. I don’t remember the sequel very well, but I loooooved the original movie when I was a pale, flabby, cowardly boy of around 10 years old, just like the story’s hero: Bastian Balthazar Bux.
This 1979 German best-seller (original title Die Unendliche Geschichte) crossed the Atlantic when I was a child and became, among other things, the basis for two movies.
