Over at the Circe Institute blog, there was an interview posted with Jeffrey Overstreet in which he mentions an overlooked children's story by Michael Ende called Momo. I love finding hidden treasures, so I went off to look for a copy of the book. It is out of print in the USA, but thanks to Amazon.com I was able to get an inexpensive copy from the UK in a few days.
Momo is the story of a little girl with a special gift and her battle with the forces of modern efficiency. My wife and I enjoyed the story as much as our children did. It reminded me just a little bit of another of my favorites, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
