  • Maurice Sendak (American).
  • [New York]: Harper & Row, [1970].
  • 40 pages.
  • Quarto.
  • Original tan boards with illustrated paper label affixed to the front board and illustrated dust jacket, with a contemporary gift inscription, and with dust jacket priced $4.95 and 10/70 on front flap and 7 titles on the back flap. 


Both an entertaining tale of nighttime cooking and a subtle commentary on childhood psychology, this book has stirred controversy since its publication, and has frequently appeared on banned books lists. A provocative, historically important book that will transfix both children and adults.
