Ridgefield author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, who died in 2012 in Danbury Hospital, is widely viewed as the most important children’s book artist of the 20th century.
In life, Sendak intensely disliked the notion that children’s books are a subcategory of literature, to be seated at a separate table. When he died at 83, Sendak had enjoyed a half century of fame for expanding his genre. He illuminated the sometimes nightmarish world of growing minds, showing them triumphantly taming monsters—most notably in his 1963 book “Where the Wild Things Are.”
