Maurice Sendak's 'Night' Trilogy—Signed
beginning with Where the Wild Things Are, 1963
SENDAK, Maurice (1928-2012). Where the Wild Things Are. 1963. – In the Night Kitchen. 1970. – Outside Over There. 1981. All New York: Harper & Row, 1963-1981.
A fine set of Maurice Sendak's defining trilogy, all signed and fine first editions, all three titles are signed by the author, In the Night Kitchen signature also dated (December 1982). Where the Wild Things Are with correct points on jacket and no mention of the Caldecott award. These works were Sendak's most controversial, for their melancholy and for their nudity. Sendak opined at his acceptance speech for the Caldecott Award for Wild Things: “…from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, that fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, that they continually cope with frustration as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.” Where the Wild Things Are had the pre-schooler Max as its hero, In the Night Kitchen the toddler Mickey, and Outside Over There the pre-adolescent Ida.
Three volumes, quarto, two of which are oblong. Original cloth and boards; pictorial dust jackets (mild edge-wear to Wild Things jacket, one corner clipped).
