Two Nursery Rhymes with Pictures
Harper Collins, 1993.
First edition. Oblong 4to. Brown paper covered boards, with a pictorial dustwrapper. Illustrated in colour throughout. A near fine copy, just light spotting to the pages adjacent to the endpapers, in a fine dustwrapper.
Sendak has taken two Mother Goose rhymes, joined them together and given them a contemporary edge. Written at the height of the AIDS epidemic and homelessness crisis in New York, this is Sendak's cry for compassion, the lasting message being one of reconciliation and hope.
