Where to buy?

This brings back so many childhood memories... I had read the book as a child and tried to decipher it. But in my youth, the book ended up getting trashed after hearing that the puzzle was solved. It had been so many years and I had forgotten the name. Finally, after many searches and online purchases, I got the title right.

I found a copy of the book and I just discovered that they made a movie. I never knew. The illustrations in the book are just beautiful and I am dying to find out how they portrayed these illustrations onto video. I am interested in finding a copy. Does anybody know where I can go? HELP?
