Quarto; hardcover; 200pp., with many colour illustrations. Mild wear; text block edges lightly toned. Dustwrapper lightly rubbed and edgeworn; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. In "Making Mischief", Gregory Maguire reconsiders Maurice Sendak's oeuvre with the same adroit and idiosyncratic scrutiny that allowed him to see a heroine in the Wicked Witch of the West and add a charming dimension to the story of the Little Match Girl. An accomplished critic, Maguire examines Sendak's aesthetic influences from William Blake to Walt Disney, revealing the "conversations" that artists have with one another. He also explores Sendak's use of recurring motifs as well as his profound understanding of children, their creativity, and the breadth of emotions with which they encounter the world. With hundreds of beautifully reproduced illustrations from Sendak's catalogue.
