Hi Ken
Maurice Sendak has long been a favourite author of mine. It's been a while
since I had to read him, though - In the Night Kitchen and Where the Wild
Things Are were my favourites, because they are so great to read out loud.
(It's a real test of a book - anyone who thinks pasteboard books are easy to
write should be forced to read their limp lines and bathetic sentiments out
loud forever and ever - I remember in particular one horrible book about
bunnies that for some reason my kids demanded night after night - the only
book I have ever thrown away). No easier than writing poems, I think -
Best
A
