「かいじゅうたちのいるところ」でもお馴染みの人気作家、モーリス・センダックの「まよなかのだいどころ」の原著。翻訳との比較を研究するにあたって、中々面白い素材でした。

Since its publication in 1970, this Caldecott Honor Book has enjoyed a double distinction as one of Sendak's most popular and admired creations, loved by children and praised by critics. One of those rare books whose readership grows greater each year, In the Night Kitchen is destined to "eventually become a classic" (New York Times). Full color. 40.
