BEIJING, May 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The U.S. author of the best-selling children's book "Where the Wild Things Are," Maurice Sendak, has died at the age of 83.
The author reportedly died in Connecticut in the U.S. following complications from a recent stroke.
He wrote some 17 books and was a talented illustrator, but was best-known for his 1963 tale of Max, who became the "king of all wild things".
It was made into a Hollywood film in 2009, directed by
