A HOLE IS TO DIG
New York: Harper & Brothers 1952. Near fine in very good plus jacket. First edition later state of the commercial and critical success that established Sendak's talent as an illustrator and Krauss's reputation for capturing child-like lyricism. Krauss enjoyed enormous acclaim particularly in the 1950s as a writer on her own terms for her children's books that are now better known today as early "Sendak titles." Biographer Philip Nel argues that because she "treated them as equals children accepted Krauss as one of them confiding in her telling her stories or just playing while she watched. She listened wrote down what they said and used her poet's ear to select phrases that displayed a natural unrehearsed lyricism."<br /> <br /> Krauss along with her husband Crockett Johnson was a formative mentor for Sendak. While their relationship was often strained Sendak felt that "part of her fury was educating me the dumb Brooklyn kid into a more interesting human being. She was determined that I have more insight that I think higher" quoted in Nel 178-9. A nice copy of their first collaboration. 6.5'' x 5.25''. Original quarter teal cloth color pictorial paper boards. In original unclipped $1.50 color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated by Sendak on every page.

Krauss, Ruth; Sendak, Maurice
OPEN HOUSE FOR BUTTERFLIES
New York: Harper & Brothers 1960. First printing. Fine in near fine jacket. First edition of Krauss's follow-up to A HOLE IS TO DIG in which she collects her observations of children's innovative approach to word invention and turns them into a book of poetry. Krauss enjoyed enormous acclaim as a writer on her own terms for her children's books that are now better known today as early "Sendak titles." Biographer Philip Nel argues that because she "treated them as equals children accepted Krauss as one of them confiding in her telling her stories or just playing while she watched. She listened wrote down what they said and used her poet's ear to select phrases that displayed a natural unrehearsed lyricism."<br /> <br /> Krauss along with her husband Crockett Johnson was a formative mentor for Sendak. While their relationship was often strained Sendak felt that "part of her fury was educating me the dumb Brooklyn kid into a more interesting human being. She was determined that I have more insight that I think higher" quoted in Nel 178-9. An exceptionally beautiful copy. 6.5'' x 5''. Original quarter black cloth yellow paper boards. In original unclipped $1.50 yellow pictorial dust jacket. Pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Sendak throughout in black and white; text in brown. 48 pages. Tiny bit of wear to jacket spine ends else clean and fresh. Harper & Brothers unknown
