Literary News: Maurice Sendak

Maurice Sendak, beloved author of children's books, artist and the inspiration behind several of my most memorable childhood nightmares died early this morning in Connecticut as a result of complications following a stroke.  He was 83 years old and for many will be remembered as the pioneer in children's literature.  More details about Sendak's life, influence and creations are available on The New York Times Book page.
