Momo: Or the Curious Story About the Time Thieves and the Child Who Returned the People's Stolen Time

316 pp. | McSweeney's McMullens | August, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-938073-14-4 $22.00
New ed. (1985, Puffin)
(4) 4-6 Translated by Lucas Zwirner. Illustrated by Marcel Dzama. This is a newly illustrated and translated (from the German) edition. Ende's fantasy about the importance of spending time on things that matter has little child appeal, but it offers plenty of imaginative writing and criticism of contemporary values. Dzama's occasional black-and-white illustrations provide welcome relief from the lengthy text.
