My mother said that she read it as | a child. | /Chris How old ARE you, Chris? The Neverending Story was written by Michael Ende in 1976-7 and published in Germany in 1979 as "Die unendliche Geschichte." Unless you are a time traveller or an incredible prodigy, your mother can only have read the actual story. What did she name the Childlike Empress? Or maybe she read some of Ende's other stories, "Jim Knopf and Lukas the Engine Driver" or maybe "Momo" . . . all published in the 60s and 70s. A possibility, not mentioned in the book biog, is that Ende might have done earlier versions of the Story as a play, perhaps? He was an actor and playwright for several years in the '50s (been around since 1929). Hutch (\_____/) \*\ /*/ |\_=_/| \`_'/
