About This Item
Lenox, Massachusetts: Bookstore Press, 1971. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak 8vo size red clothbound hardcover with illustrated dust jacket; 43 pages with black and white illustrations throughout. From dust jacket: "(This book) swings with graceful illogic from one misadventure to another: each revealing child-bounciness, child-reverence in the rhythm and timing which (the author) heard spoken by actual children. The drawings by Maurice Sendak capture flight, fall, re-birth - all the quick, bird-like movements of children on the run, making discovery." Ruth Krauss (1901 - 1993) was a writer and illustrator, primarily of children's books. She was married to Crocket Johnson, also a children's book writer, and collaborated with him on several books. Maurice Sendak (1928 - 2012) also a children's book author and illustrator, illustrated eight of Krauss' books, including A Hole Is to Dig which launched his career. Sendak was honored with numerous awards during the course of his career and is best known for his book Where the Wild Things Are.
