Long ago, when I was a teen, this was a book I liked so much I read it several times. I have now read it aloud to my son (which took several weeks... the joke in our family was that it was truly a neverending story) and I still like it.
It's a well-written fantasy. My son and I discussed the lessons we took away. Imagination is important and necessary. Be true to yourself. It is honorable to be loyal to your friends.
There were WAY more characters than I remembered and more violence, but overall a book that I liked as an adult as well as a child.

The story was longer than I had anticipated but I did enjoy my time in Fantastica. “But that’s a story for another time” lol

A trippy children's book from the 70s -- highly recommended for its bizarre characters, elaborate allegories, and the surreal sensation of being drawn into the pages yourself.
