A collectable classic picture book that every child should read and own. Maurice Sendak says “Harold is a masterpiece”.
"One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight"
Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. He conducts his adventure with the utmost care, letting his imagination run free, but keeping his wits about him all the while. This magical journey gives us the wondrous sense that anything is possible.
This joyful story has delighted readers of all ages for over fifty years.
Essential Picture Book Classics – timeless stories for every child to treasure.
Crockett Johnson (1906–1975) was the writer and illustrator of over twenty books for children, including the beloved classic Harold and the Purple Crayon, six subsequent adventures starring Harold, and The Carrot Seed, written by his wife, Ruth Krauss. He was also the creator of the groundbreaking Barnaby, one of the most influential and ingenious comic strips of the twentieth century.
