I don’t really have anything to add, I just love this book. I searched for “The NeverEnding Story” in this community, saw that there was no post about it and wanted to fix that :).
Image found on Facebook. I think the source of that specific printing is the Spanish version of the book, [EDIT: as pointed by @alvarolh@lemm.ee, the version on the link is also a Spanish version, I may have had a brainfart because of the font (?)] but it’s very similar to some German version covers.
As a 30 something, the movie is part of my dna, but I never read the book sadly. May check it out soon though, I’m trying to get my 7 year old to read more with me atm. And that cover art is beautiful.

I thought about adding a warning about the movies… I find very hard to ackowledge they exist (half kidding :P). Not because they are bad, but they are sooo different from the book; it’s sad for me that they are the reference for the name.
I’m not sure I would recommend the book to children younger than … (?) 11-12 years old. Although maturity in this regard is very personal and subjective and I’m not the one to say who should read what.
Good to know, thanks! Something for when he’s a bit older definitely. Also sorry lol, hopefully others here enjoy the books too.
Hehe, no need for it.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying the films!
The NES movie was my gateway into fantasy.
