Sarah Austin's classic translation of F. W. Carové's German Romantic masterpiece, The Story without an End, is a fairytale journey through a magic garden with dew drops and dragonflies, sunbeams and flowers, all telling their part of the tale, the unending story of nature itself, a continuing saga of wonder and fascination. Although it was written for children, the beauty of the story's images and the depth of its words will find their way into the heart of any aged reader or listener.
