Where The Wild Things Are
was supposed to have been about horses—but the illustrator couldn't draw them.
Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are is
a beloved children's book from 1963 that was inspired by the author's own
childhood. But it wasn't always about the so-called "wild things."
The book was originally going to be about a young boy who finds himself in a
land filled with wild horses. Although Sendak's editor loved the idea, there
was one problem: Sendak, who was also the book's illustrator, couldn't draw
horses. However, he was able to draw "wild things"—and so the entire
premise of the book changed.
