About This Item
PRESENTATION COPY, the first volume inscribed by the artist on the half-title: "For dear Judy - with all my love! Maurice Sendak Dec. '73" which was actually the earliest month the book was available. ALSO INCLUDED is a folded paper chemise inscribed by the artist "For Judy from her loving friend Maurice / Oct. 2002." Inside is a complete set of all 27 page illustrations as individual prints, handsome impressions on large paper, each sheet measuring 8-3/4 x 6-5/8 inches compared to the published sheet size in the book of 6-7/8 x 5-1/2 inches.
The recipient of these two inscriptions is Sendak's close friend Judy Taylor, his British editor (The Bodley Head) from 1960 onwards who is largely credited with having helped to promote and popularize Sendak's illustration art in Europe.
