Jeanne Steig
Cats, Dogs, Men, Women, Ninnies & Clowns: The Lost Art of William Steig

); the late Steig's wife, Jeanne, introduces each section with delightful, insightful anecdotes. "He used to refer to us fondly as 'a couple of cats, ' or perhaps more romantically as 'two rolls on a plate, ' " she writes.

Of course, the best sense of the man behind Shrek!, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, and other favorites is gained from the strange, free, and wholly original artwork that fill the pages with caricatured portraits, animals a'courting, drunken clowns, knife fights, and creatures impossible to name.

Taken as a whole, the glorious lunacy is testimony to a true iconoclast."
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
"What a splendid gift it would be if the works tearing up the best-seller lists weren't that of a Stieg Larsson, but a Steig, William."

--New York Times The Moment blog
"Pure pleasure from cover to cover"

--Booklist
"The book details a great character, and does so with a remarkable charm.

Highly recommended for all interested in comic history and everyone who likes to look on the lighter side of life."
