Left: Variant of the book "Momo", an anniversary edition (40 years, Thienemann Verlag 2013) of the classic in new design, with illustrations by Dieter Braun. The cover design by Henning Skibbe shows the turtle Cassiopeia (whose name is derived from a woman in Greek mythology, after whom a constellation is also named). Right: Illustration by Roswitha Quadflieg for "The Neverending Story", also an award-winning book by Michael Ende, Thienemann Verlag (1979), 428 pages. The ancient pond turtle "Morla" plays a role here. She also illustrated the poem "The Turtle Toad" by C. Morgenstern, among other things. The writer and book designer studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. Her best known works include the illustrations for several works by M. Ende, and she had an exhibition on him in the "Ludwiggalerie Schloß Oberhausen" in 2023. For further illustrations of "Morla" see also Sebastian Meschenmoser.
