Gregory Maguire’s picture books span over four decades, from Crabby Cratchitt (1980), published two years after his first novel, to Cress Watercress (2022). These are illustrated books for young children, distinct from his chapter books and adult fiction.
The four titles show Maguire’s long-standing interest in writing for younger audiences alongside his better-known literary novels and fairy tale retellings.
