About the Author
William Steig (1907-2003) was a cartoonist, illustrator and author of award-winning books for children, including Shrek!, on which the DreamWorks movies are based. Steig was born in New York City. Every member of his family was involved in the arts, and so it was no surprise when he decided to become an artist. He attended City College and the National Academy of Design. In 1930, Steig's work began appearing in The New Yorker, where his drawings have been a popular fixture ever since. He published his first children's book, Roland the Minstrel Pig, in 1968.
In 1970, Steig received the Caldecott Medal for Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. His books for children also include Dominic; The Real Thief; The Amazing Bone, a Caldecott Honor Book; Amos & Boris, a National Book Award finalist; and Abel's Island and Doctor De Soto, both Newbery Honor Books. Steig's books have also received the Christopher Award, the Irma Simonton Black Award, the William Allen White Children's Book Award, and the American Book Award. His European awards include the Premio di Letteratura per l'infanzia (Italy), the Silver Pencil Award (the Netherlands), and the Prix de la Fondation de France. On the basis of his entire body of work, Steig was selected as the 1982 U.S. candidate for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for Illustration and subsequently as the 1988 U.S. candidate for Writing.
Stieg also published thirteen collections of drawings for adults, beginning with About People in 1939, and including The Lonely Ones, Male/Female, The Agony in the Kindergarten, and Our Miserable Life.
He died in Boston at the age of 95.

All dust jackets are covered with clear, archival-quality protective book jacket covers.
Book condition: I try to be clear and accurate in my grading. Abbreviations used: FINE = Fine (new or very nearly new condition; clean, bright, not price-clipped, no previous owner marks, or any of these flaws mentioned); VG = Very Good (minor defects such as light edge wear and chipping or shorter tears to jacket, etc., with any greater defects noted in description); G = Good (average used book, any major defects noted); Fair = major defects and wear. N means 'Near,' as in 'Near Very Good.' XL means ex-library, and these books are not graded quite as strictly, though again, I try to describe them accurately (I have very few XL books). Previous-owner names and bookplates not always mentioned unless grade is Fine.
RETURNS: Within two weeks of receipt of book if not as described; you must contact us prior to making a return.
Booksellers: please note I no longer drop-ship books.
