What is Making mischief : a Maurice Sendak appreciation about?

<p><P><blockquote> <P> The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Wicked</i> presents an inspired visual tribute to the work of legendary writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak <P> </blockquote> <P> Published in 1963 to great critical acclaim, Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Award-winning <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i> has sold millions of copies worldwide, garnered countless awards, and been translated into nineteen languages. In <i>Making Mischief</i>, Gregory Maguire reconsiders Sendak's oeuvre with the same adroit and idiosyncratic scrutiny that allowed him to see a heroine in the Wicked Witch of the West (<i>Wicked</i>) and add a charming dimension to the story of the Little Match Girl (<i>Matchless</i>). <P>An accomplished critic with signal reviews published in the New York Times Book Review and lectures on art delivered at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and at other locations, Maguire examines Sendak's aesthetic influences from William Blake to Walt Disney, revealing the "conversations"&#8212;often unconscious and unspoken&#8212;that artists have with one another. A master of literary invention himself, Maguire explores recurring motifs in Sendak's life
