Maurice Sendak On Childhood Frights.
Maurice Sendak is well-known for his children's books, including "Where the Wild Things Are," despite the fact that he grew up with a hatred for "kiddies' books." Sendak writes and illustrates his own work and has won many awards. Some find Sendak's work too scary for children. His latest book is "Outside Over There," in which a child is kidnapped by goblins. Items from Sendak's collection of toys and illustrations (including an extensive collection of Mickey Mouse items) will be shared with the public in the show "Maurice Sendak: The Artist's Collection of Children's Toys, Photos, and Illustrations" at the Rosenbach Gallery.
