Today's News is followed by an extended interview with a man or woman behind the headlines.
Robert Robinson introduces a weekly look at hardbacks and paperbacks, fact and fiction, best-sellers and remainders.
This week includes: Maurice Sendak - for many the best illustrator of children's books in the world. Among his outstanding works are "Where the Wild Things Are" and "In the Night Kitchen". Sendak came over from America for the opening of an exhibition of his original drawings which is now showing at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Robert Robinson went round the exhibition with him.
