Riassunto

The Neverending Story is Michael Ende’s best-known book, but Momo?published six years earlier?is the all-ages fantasy novel that first won him wide acclaim. After the sweet-talking gray men come to town, life becomes terminally efficient. Can Momo, a young orphan girl blessed with the gift of listening, vanquish the ashen-faced time thieves before joy vanishes forever? With gorgeous new drawings by Marcel Dzama and a new translation from the German by Lucas Zwirner, this all-new 40th anniversary edition celebrates the book’s first U.S. publication in over 25 years.

Recensione:

Wittily perceptive social criticism and haunting, surrealistic imagery... This all-ages delight deserves rescue and is ideal for classroom (or bedtime) read-alouds especially if the grown-ups pay attention along with the children.” Kirkus

A modern classic for all ages.” ForeWord Review

"A German Classic returns to print" Publishers Weekly

"A wonderful new translation with simple, gorgeous illustrations by Marcel Dzama. A masterpiece." The Globe and Mail

"If there was only one children’s book I could put on the list of must-read, yet hardly known, children’s books, it would have to be Momo. I fell in love with the book, despite the fact that when I first went to read it, I assumed I wouldn’t like it at all!" LitKidz

"A joyful read." About.com

"Here is a story so ingenious in its conception, so powerful in production that its message can safely slip unnoticed into the mind to linger after the splendid images begin to fade." The Times Literary Supplement
