I just caught the news that Maurice Sendak, author of Where The Wild Things Are, has died aged 83.
The book was a long time favourite of our son when he was younger (now we've snatched it from him).
To commemorate, here's a Guardian interview from last year:

"I was young just minutes ago" is just one of the quotable thoughts within.
