I fell completely in love with Sicily. Thank you for the snippets of history that brought back the memory of my ‘giant’.

]]> Comment on A salute to Maurice Sendak by nikki http://buzzaboutbooks.com/2012/05/11/a-salute-to-maurice-sendak/#comment-356 Sat, 19 May 2012 13:55:25 +0000 http://buzzaboutbooks.com/?p=1114#comment-356 … I was always more likely to shut myself inside the cupboard to be safe from the ‘nasties out there’ as a small child. The dark was somehow comforting. Have to say though, I never realised WTWTA was about rage. Thought Max was going on a scary trip and made it home in time for tea, safe from the outside world, but it sounds like his inside world was more scary.
Maybe Max would like the inside of cupboards too…
