Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Maurice Sendak (illustrator). 1st Edition. A charming and distinctive mid-century collaboration pairing Alec Wilder's musical settings with Maurice Sendak's evocative illustrations. This volume gathers traditional and literary lullabies - ranging from Mother Goose to Stevenson and Blake - set to original compositions, with full musical notation throughout. Sendak's artwork, produced shortly after Where the Wild Things Are (1963), carries his signature blend of whimsy and quiet intimacy, making this an appealing crossover title for collectors of children's literature, illustration, and music. This is an ex-library copy from J.C. Parks Primary School (Indian Head, Maryland), but notably well-preserved. The book remains structurally sound with clean, bright interior pages (Near Fine), free of writing or markings beyond expected library indicators. Light abrasion observed on interior front board and flyleaf. The dust jacket is present and protected, with typical library labels and light wear; the book retains its original endpapers with pocket and circulation cards intact - offering an appealing snapshot of mid-20th-century school library use. A desirable early Sendak-illustrated work with strong visual appeal and increasingly collected in any complete Sendak run, particularly in jacketed hardcover. Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) was one of the most influential American illustrators of the 20th century, best known for Where the Wild Things Are and recipient of the 1964 Caldecott Medal. Composer Alec Wilder (1907-1980) was a prolific American songwriter and composer whose work spans popular music, classical compositions, and children's repertoire.
