The Neverending Book

**A runaway bestseller in Japan, *The Neverending Book* is both a standout illustrated fable and a love letter to books.**
An aged, near-blind, book-loving king sends two of his subjects out into the world to learn about unusual and magical books. One year later, they return to tell the whimsical, tender, and touching stories they’ve learned.
Among them are: a book that runs faster than a cheetah, a pair of books that are identical twins, a diary shared by two children with painful secrets, a photo album left by a dying father for when his daughter gets married, and the most romantic story in the world . . .
From the comically irreverent to the heartrending to the heartwarming, *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. Imaginative and playful, *The Neverending Book* is an unforgettable love letter to literature.
