Michael Ende was born on November 12, 1929 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, the only son of Edgar Ende, a surrealist painter who was barred from painting by the Nazis in 1936, and his physiotherapist wife Luise. Ende went to the Waldorf school, but quit when he was drafted by the German Army in 1945. He attended Munich's Otto Falckenburg Drama School from 1947 to 1950 and then held various jobs as an actor, writer of cabaret scripts and plays, a director of the Volkstheater in Munich, and film critic for the Bavarian Broadcasting Company. His first novel for children, "Jim Knopf and Lukas the Engine Driver," was published in Germany in 1960 to great popular and critical acclaim, and both radio and television series based on the "Jim Knopf" books were produced. Although he was highly esteemed by fans and critics alike, Ende reportedly remained shy and modest about his success. He died of stomach cancer in Stuttgart, Germany on August 29, 1995 at the age of 65.
