From the Archives: Children's Book Writer and Illustrator Maurice Sendak.
Artist, writer and designer Maurice Sendak. Sendak has written and illustrated such classic children's books as "Where the Wild Things Are," "In The Night Kitchen," and "Inside Over There." Time magazine has said, "For Sendak, visiting the land of the very young is not something that requires a visa. He is a permanent citizen." Where the Wild Things Are was adapted into an opera, and Sendak designed the sets and costumes for the premiere production. He's since designed several other operas and ballets. This month, a new stage production of Hansel and Gretel will feature costume and sets designed by Sendak. (REBROADCAST from 9/22/93)
