Description
From Maurice Sendak, the unrivalled illustrator of Where The Wild Things Are, and long-time collaborator and friend Arthur Yorinks.
This never-before published tale is an imaginative romp through the world of Limboland.
The storytelling voice evokes a particular – even poignant – time and place [. . .] It's a joy to have another glimpse at Sendak's magic.
