Farewell to Maurice Sendak
May 8, 2012
Maurice Sendak, creator of over 50 children’s books including the iconic Where the Wild Things Are (Harper & Row 1963), died today from complications of a recent stroke. He was 83. Sendak was arguably the most important children’s book artist of the 20th century. He will be sorely missed.
