Some people say that his works seem to be for teenagers, but in fact they are also for adults who are still childlike. It's true.
Since the publication of 1960, his first novel Little Jim and Lucas the Train Driver, his works have been translated into more than 40 major languages in the world, with a total circulation of more than 20 million copies. In addition to Little Jim and Lucas the Train Driver, the sequels of this book, Little Jim and Thirteen Pirates, Endless Stories and Momo, have all been made into cartoons, feature films and TV series, which are widely circulated and deeply rooted in people's hearts. So it is not surprising that the name "Michael Ender" and his works have reached household names in Germany and even Europe.
After Ender's death, in order to commemorate and commend his contribution to the cause of human literature, Munich International Youth Library specially set up the "Michael Ender Museum" for him to show people his achievements and relics.
