Original ballpoint sketch of Carol in a full-length seated pose on a green 6 x 7 sheet of personal stationery, signed below the sketch, "Thank you!!!—Maurice," with Sendak adding the date and inscription in a large speech bubble, "April 2, 88, Dear Minnie, Laurie is lovely—is happy—in good company—refuses to be parted from his new hat and scarf—and send you happy greetings!" In fine condition. A wonderfully presented sketch of Sendak's most famous character, made all the more desirable by the thoughtful and neatly framed inscription. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
