  1. “Dear Mr. Sendak,” read one, from an 8-year-old boy. “How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there.”

    Heartbreakingly wonderful!

  2. If you haven't seen it yet, the Maurice Sendak interview on the Stephen Colbert show is one of the best I've seen in years on that program. Sendak finds a way to match Colbert tit for tat, and it's hilarious.

    Farewell to a friend of children.
