Description

Maurice Sendak

ALS signed “Maurice,” two pages inside a card featuring Where the Wild Things Are artwork, 4.75 x 5.75, no date. In part: “I’ve just come home from somewhere very close to you—Seattle, where I spent 4 days working very hard with the Northwest Pacific Ballet Co. on our new production of Nutcracker for next Xmas…we finally all agreed to a conception—a design that we all like…Am also designing the opera version of Wild Things to open also next December in London. It is a great balancing act & for the most part, I’m delighted.” Each line is transcribed in pencil above in another hand. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
