Where the Wild Things Are
Maurice Sendak, 1963
A boy in a wolf suit sails off to be king of the monsters, and finds that wildness and homesickness arrive at exactly the same moment.
Maurice Sendak
Sendak first planned a book called Where the Wild Horses Are, and abandoned it because, by his own admission, he could not draw horses.
Feels like wonder, freedom and tenderness.
The friend everyone counts on, and what it costs to share him.
That’s Douglas. I count on him for everything. If I was stranded on a desert island and could only take one thing, it’d be Douglas. We can share him if you want. Books by Maurice Sendak
