A collection of Caldecott Medalist Maurice Sendak's critical writings devoted to authors and artists whose work he admired, including Randolph Caldecott, Beatrix Potter, and Walt Disney, along with several interviews and autobiographical pieces. Now with a new introduction by Sergio Ruzzier! Over twenty-five years of his life, Maurice Sendak regularly published essays and reviews devoted to an astonishing variety of writers and illustrators whose work he admired. The subjects of his appreciation ranged from Randolph Caldecott, George MacDonald, and Beatrix Potter to Margot Zemach, Harriet Pincus, and Edward Ardizzone, from Walt Disney and Lothar Meggendorfer to Mother Goose and Hans Christian Anderson. Back in print with a new introduction by Sergio Ruzzier, Maurice Sendak's Caldecott & Co. is an eminent collection of essays, interviews, and speeches that's proven to be as timeless as the beloved author and illustrator himself. HarperCollins is proud to present this new edition of Caldecott & Co. that has been printed in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation to ensure that Maurice Sendak's work has been reproduced to the highest standards.
