A 1970s/80s classic by Michael Ende. First published in German as Die unendliche Geschichte in 1979, published in English translation by Ralph Manheim in 1983, followed by a movie in 1984 directed by Wolfgang Petersen. For many the first taste of #worldkidlit!

"When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts."
