Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 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.

Later edition, warmly inscribed by Maurice Sendak on the front free endpaper: "For Stuart" accompanied by an original pen-and-ink sketch of a goat wearing a tall hat, signed "Maurice" and dated "Jul '83". Folio (12 5/8 x 9 1/4 inches; 320 x 235 mm.). 78, [2, blank] pp. Profusely illustrated throughout in color. Publisher's dark blue cloth over boards, front cover decoratively titled in gilt, spine lettered in gilt, light gray endpapers. In the original color pictorial dust jacket. Minimal shading to spine. A near fine copy. First published in 1965, Lullabies and Night Songs is among Maurice Sendak's most beloved and visually enchanting books. Created in collaboration with the distinguished American composer Alec Wilder and editor William Engvick, the volume presents a selection of traditional and original lullabies brought vividly to life through Sendak's imaginative illustrations. The book received a Caldecott Honor and remains one of the artist's most celebrated achievements outside the Little Bear and Where the Wild Things Are series. While signed copies of Sendak's books are desirable, examples containing original drawings are particularly sought after. Here the artist has added a charming sketch of a goat in a tall hat, rendered with the effortless economy of line that characterizes his finest doodles and presentation drawings. Such personalized sketches transform an already appealing signed book into a unique artifact of Sendak's creative hand. An especially attractive presentation copy, enhanced by an original drawing and preserved in unusually fine condition. Signed.…
