“Early in the nineteenth century there lived in Germany a young man named Wilhelm Hauff. Younger than Keats when he died, he left as his legacy to European children dozens of strange and wonderful stories. ‘Dwarf Long-Nose’ is one of his most famous tales.”
Maurice Sendak was born June 10, 1928, in Brooklyn, NY. He received the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are. In 1970 he received the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration, and he remains the only American ever awarded this honor. In 1983, Sendak received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award from the American Library Association, given in recognition of his entire body of work. He also received a 1996 National Medal of Arts in recognition of his contribution of arts in America. He illustrated over 80 books. He died May 8, 2012.
