Written in 1973, this book by renowned German writer Michael Ende sounds more contemporary than ever. It tells the story of a remarkable girl, Momo, who possessed a rare gift: listening to others. Wearing a man's jacket with rolled-up sleeves, with the Flower of Time and a turtle under her arm, she enters into an unequal struggle with the cruel world of the Gray Lords, a world of pragmatists and materialists who have forgotten true human values, kindness, and compassion for others.

The book features illustrations by the author.
