Fifty years after Where the Wild Things Are was
published comes the last book Maurice Sendak completed
before his death in May 2012, My Brother's Book.
With influences from Shakespeare and William Blake, Sendak
pays homage to his late brother, Jack, whom he credited for
his passion for writing and drawing. Pairing Sendak's
poignant poetry with his exquisite and dramatic artwork,
this book redefines what mature readers expect from Maurice
Sendak while continuing the lasting legacy he created over
his long, illustrious career. Sendak's tribute to his
brother is an expression of both grief and love and will
resonate with his lifelong fans who may have read his
children's books and will be ecstatic to discover something
for them now. Pulitzer Prize–winning literary critic and
Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt contributes a
moving introduction.
