Lullabies and Night Songs – Maurice Sendak 1965 | 1st Edition

Lullabies and Night Songs is a classic and cherished collection of bedtime poetry and music, renowned for its exquisite marriage of two artistic giants: the music of Alec Wilder and the illustrations of Maurice Sendak. First published in 1965, it is not a narrative storybook but a lavishly illustrated songbook, designed to be a timeless treasure for parents and children at bedtime.
Lullabies and Night Songs is not a book to be quickly read aloud. It is an experience to be shared. It is a luxurious, artistic invitation to slow down, to sing, and to be lulled into a state of peace. It is a testament to the power of art and music to create a sacred, quiet space for children and a beautiful, enduring ritual for bedtime. It remains one of Maurice Sendak’s most beloved and visually stunning achievements.
