An unpublished book by Maurice Sendak, the author of children’s classic Where the Wild Things Are, has been unearthed from his archives, five years after his death.
The manuscript and illustrations, titled Presto and Zesto in Limboland, co-authored by Mr Sendak’s long-time collaborator Arthur Yorinks, were found in Connecticut in the United States, by his assistant, Lynn Caponera last year.
Created in 1990, the work is due to be published in the autumn of 2018.
Mr Sendak’s long-time editor Michael di Capua told Publishers Weekly: “What a miracle to find this buried treasure in the archives. To think something as good as this has been lying around there gathering dust.”
