Written the year before Where the Wild Things Are was published, Sendak's drawings go perfectly with this odd little story. Robert Graves wrote, I, Claudius, but wanted to write a children's book. Reminiscent of Roald Dahl's books, the young boy's parents have died and he's staying with and aunt and uncle who are "not very nice". He finds a book full of magic and plays tricks on them. In the end they are encouraged to be better relatives.
