The Big Green Book

 Who knew that the poet Robert Graves wrote this unusual children's story?  


Robert Graves
illustrated by Maurice Sendak

Jack is orphaned and must live with his dowdy Aunt and Uncle.  When he finds a mysterious Green Book that teaches him magic spells, he unleashes all sorts of tricks and mischief on his unsuspecting guardians.  Sendak's black and white illustrations are ornate but in a deceptively simple way and are as always a favorite!
