From the publisher

"The best sense of the man behind Shrek! . . . and other favorites is gained from the strange, free, and wholly original artwork that fill the pages." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Children, octogenarians, and everyone in between know the work of William Steig, the beloved cartoonist and award-winning children's book author whose work graced the covers and pages of The New Yorker for more than seventy years. In Cats, Dogs, Men, Women, Ninnies & Clowns: The Lost Art of William Steig, Jeanne Steig uncovers more than 450 never-before-published cartoons by her husband and provides personal insight and anecdotes about his work and her relationship with Bill, shedding new light on this celebrated genius.

"What a splendid gift it would be if the works tearing up the best-seller lists weren't that of a Stieg Larsson, but a Steig, William . . . a fresh and quirky way of discovering the celebrated illustrator's oeuvre." --T Magazine Blog, The New York Times

"Pure pleasure from cover to cover." --Booklist

"The book details a great character, and does so with a remarkable charm. Highly recommended for all interested in comic history and everyone who likes to look on the lighter side of life." --Complex
