A propos de cet article

A new copy as received directly from The Folio Society, sealed in their protective wrapping. First Folio edition, later printing. The overwhelming winner in The Folio Society's Readers' Choice survey, 'The Neverending Story' was published as a spectacular collector's edition to mark Folio's 75th anniversary in 2022. From the beautiful illustrations by award-winning artist Marie-Alice Harel to the decorative chapter openers and opulent art silk binding, this edition is a must-have for anyone who was captivated by this extraordinary book in childhood and remains under its spell today. To create this special collector's edition, Folio have faithfully followed Michael Ende's own description of the book when Bastian first holds it. Printed in two colours throughout, there are more than 30 integrated illustrations and decorative chapter openers, as well as printed page-edges and an art silk binding with a striking design of interlocking snakes. The only deviation from Ende's description is the addition of eight gorgeous colour illustrations and endpapers by an artist with a flair for the fantastical. So, although we are told that in Bastian's book: 'there seemed to be no pictures', this beautiful Folio edition will be all the more coveted for Marie-Alice Harel's artwork. Bound in copper-coloured art silk, blocked with a design by the artist. Set in Poppl-Pontifex with Duc De Berry display. 432 pages. Text printed in 2 colours throughout. Decorated title-page, 33 integrated illustrations and 26 decorative drop caps. 8 full-page colour illustrations including a double-page spread. Metallic printed endpapers. Printed page-edges. Printed and pearl blocked slipcase. 10'' x 7½''. The ultimate Folio 75th anniversary edition. Printed and bound in Germany. In mint condition as received directly from The Folio Society. Additional photos available on request or these may be viewed on my eBay listing. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. HEAVY/OVERSIZE. U.K. postage at default charge but overseas buyers will be asked for a little extra. Enquiries welcome. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and fully insured.
