The New York Times bestselling author of Wicked presents an
inspired visual tribute to the work of legendary writer and
illustrator Maurice Sendak
Published in 1963 to great critical acclaim, Maurice Sendak's
Caldecott Award-winning Where the Wild Things Are has sold millions
of copies worldwide, garnered countless awards, and been translated
into nineteen languages. In Making Mischief, Gregory Maguire
reconsiders Sendak's oeuvre with the same adroit and idiosyncratic
scrutiny that allowed him to see a heroine in the Wicked Witch of
the West (Wicked) and add a charming dimension to the story of the
Little Match Girl (Matchless).
An accomplished critic with signal reviews published in the New
York Times Book Review and lectures on art delivered at the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and at other locations,
Maguire examines Sendak's aesthetic influences from William Blake
to Walt Disney, revealing the "conversations"--often unconscious
and unspoken--that artists have with one another. A master of
literary invention himself, Maguire explores recurring motifs in
Sendak's life work--from monsters to mayhem--as well as his
profound understanding of children, their creativity, and the
breadth of emotions with which they encounter the world.
Making Mischief is a gift of the imagination to Maurice Sendak,
one of the master mythmakers of our time.
