It is perfectly tense for the night before a long-anticipated day. Sendak\u2019s magnificent illustrations are largely drawn from scenery he designed for a 1983 production of the story; reproduced in a large, rectangular format, they are stage backdrops waiting for the action to begin. And the text\u2014Hoffmann&#8217;s unabridged original, translated by Ralph Manheim\u2014is dark and brooding, full of conflict and violence. It&#8217;s also quite long.
