Why read it?
1 author picked Little Nemo In Slumberland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
For those who are not familiar with the great Winsor McKay, you have a treat waiting for you.
McKay was one of the great comic strip illustrators of the early twentieth century, and a big influence on Maurice Sendak, particularly Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen. The Little Nemo strip ran in the New York Herald from 1905 to 1911. Every night, Little Nemo travels to a fantasy world, returning to his bed in the morning.
The scope of McKay’s imagination and his utterly unique and immersive art style make this strip the high-water mark of both writing and illustration.
From Shawn's list on Shawn Hainsworth's favorite portal stories that take fantasy worlds to new heights.
