Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A new, small-format edition of one of Goreys “dark masterpieces of surreal morality” (Vanity Fair) - a witty, disquieting journey through the alphabet.

Synopsis:

The Gashlycrumb Tinies is a chilling and hilarious journey through the alphabet unlike anything seen on Sesame Street.

About the Author

Edward Gorey (1925-2000) wrote and illustrated such popular books as The Doubtful Guest, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, and The Headless Bust. He was also a very successful set and costume designer, earning a Tony Award for his Broadway production of Edward Gorey's Dracula. Animated sequences of his work have introduced the PBS series Mystery! since 1980.

As a child I was facinated with this book. Certainly not something I would give to my own children just yet, but I certainly cherish my copy! Both the artwork and the simple sing-song nature of this morbid book still hold a spot in my heart!
