In Grandpa's House, Philip Sendak, Illustrated by Maurice Sendak, 1985 hardcover

Clean and unmarked copy of Philip Sendak's book, illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Beautiful illustrations throughout.
"There is a sweetness of soul that illuminates Maurice Sendak's works, and that quality permeates his father Philip Sendak's posthumously published In Grandpa's House.
Much of the book is a dreamlike set of legends-located in a Polish-Jewish shtetl-that Philip Sendak told his children when they were young. Then, when Philip was a lonely widower of seventy five, his son insisted that he commit them to paper. In that respect, the book is an inspiring act of filial love... When you read father's and son's work together, you feel privileged to watch two very special men who have transcended the abyss of geography and time to engage in an intimate, loving dialogue with one another-and with us."

Hardcover with dust jacket. Small fold at front flap of jacket, sticker on barcode of back.
