New York: Harper & Row, Publishers, 1963. First edition with the following printed at title page: "Copyright © 1963 by Maurice Sendak. Printed in the United States of America. All right reserved. Library of Congress catalog card number: 63-21253". Signed at half-title page: "Maurice Sendak"; provenance or history for signature is unknown. Oversize 9 1/4" x 10" design. Matte pictorial boards, moderate shelf wear, discoloration. Pages near fine; no writing. Bind fine; hinges intact. Includes fine facsimile of original first state wrapper; protected in new clear sleeve. Codes 40-80 and 1163 to the front flap, and rear flap without mention of the Caldecott Award which was bestowed upon the book on publication. The winning of the prestigious prize compelled the publishers to recall the entire edition and change the text on the dust jacket to include the achievement. Both written and beautifully illustrated by Maurice Sendak, this first edition is apparently considered superior with many illustrations and the patterned endpapers utilizing a unique variant of colored ink. Very good first edition in fine facsimile of the first state wrapper. Criticized at the time of publication for its darker elements, this title was soon acclaimed as a triumph of children's storytelling and design. It has remained a classic of twentieth-century children's literature. Apprx. 40 pages. Insured post. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Fine. Illus. by Sendak, Maurice. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book.
