About this book

Max is sent to bed without supper after misbehaving, then sails away to a place inhabited by wild things. There he becomes king. Maurice Sendak's children's picture book turns a boy's punishment into an imaginative adventure, following his passage from trouble at home into a fantasy land where he takes charge.

About the author

Maurice Sendak

Brooklyn made him. Maurice Sendak was born there on 10 June 1928 to Polish Jewish immigrants, Philip and Sadie Sendak, and at twenty he was building window displays for the FAO Schwarz toy shop, which is how the Harper editor Ursula Nordstrom found him. She published Where the Wild Things Are in 1963.
