'''Michael Ende''' (1929 - 1995) was a German fantasy writer, best known in the English-speaking world for ''[[The Neverending Story (Literaturenovel)|The Neverending Story]]''.
 
His other novels include ''[[Jim Button (Literature)|Jim Button]] and Luke the Engine Driver'' and its sequel, ''Jim Button and the Wild 13'', ''[[Momo (Literature)|Momo]]'', which offers a whimsical answer to the question "Why is it, when I have all these time-saving devices, I still never have any free time?", and ''[[The Night of Wishes (Literature)|The Night of Wishes]]'', a wordplayful comic novel.
 
[[He Also Did]] some other stuff, like translating [[Lewis Carroll]]'s "The Hunting of the Snark" into German.
 
When he was alive, many leftist critics criticized him for writing escapist and unpolitical novels. (Given that said critics sympathized with Communism, [[YMMV|there's the question of who's the bigger escapist]].)
