                                         Interview with Maurice Sendak


"We have two Maurice Sendak books in our library. The book "In The Night Kitchen" was controversial when it was first printed and was actually banned in the USA. The stripped jersey on one of the characters in "Where the Wild Things Are" inspired author Oliver Jeffers to dress one of his characters that seems to feature in most of his books, in a stripped jersey." Mrs Chin
