Maurice Sendak delights children with new book, 12 years after his death
Briefly

Well, he's Maurice... He didn't look like most of the other boys in children's books in the 1950s.
The characters of my earlier books are really only sort of cockamamie self-portraits... Unfortunately, I look like Max and the Wild Things, as children tell you in their brazen way.
