Well, if you refer to the font that the title is written with, on the cover, I don't think that it's available as a font - William Murray made it in bronze specifically for Mike Oldfield. If, on the other hand, you refer to the font that's used within the booklet to write the story and the list of instruments, that one is called University, and I think it's included in the latest edition of MS Word. :) Anyway, University is commonly available.

@ Caveman: you are absolutely right, of course, and I'm wrong. :) But I'm 100% sure about the booklet font, as I wrote my own translation of the fairy tale and of the instruments list using that font.
