Maurice Sendak widely considered the most important children’s
book artist of the 20th century, who was known in particular for
more than a dozen picture books he wrote and illustrated
himself, most famously “Where the Wild Things Are,”
which was simultaneously genre-breaking and
career-making when it was published
by Harper & Row in 1963.
“And he sailed off through night and day
and in and out of weeks
and almost over a year
to where the wild things are.”
