Description

“I had read most of the stories before (I illustrated 2 of them)—but it was wonderful having them all together in a contemporary edition”

ALS, one page, 3.25 x 5.5, January 14, 1974. A postcard to Roger Verhulst of Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company regarding a newly released book. In part: “I’ve just finished The Gifts of the Child Christ. I had read most of the stories before (I illustrated 2 of them)—but it was wonderful having them all together in a contemporary edition—and the bits & pieces I hadn’t read before were a delight & a surprise.” Sendak also addressed the postcard in his own hand, and signed “M. Sendak” in the return address area. In fine condition, with a trivial stamp to the text. RRAuction COA.
