Inside: Previously uncollected work, rough sketches, and unfinished panels that reveal Gorey's singular, ironic imagination.
Acrobatic Figbash, tragic topiaries, admonitory hippopotami, and remorseful galoshes populate a collection designed to delight, amuse, and confound. Two stories unpublished before this collection add to its appeal: The Izzard Book, a quirky riff on the letter Z, and La Malle Saignante, a bilingual homage to early French silent serial movies.
~ Who It's For?
A distinctive gift for Edward Gorey fans, illustration enthusiasts, art-book lovers, and readers drawn to surreal storytelling and darkly whimsical humor. Its eccentric personality also makes it a thoughtful choice for the gothic-minded friend whose taste is anything but ordinary.
~ Why You'll Want It:
This is more than a handsome addition to your book stack. The combination of illustrated stories, rough sketches, and unfinished panels invites you to explore both Gorey's peculiar worlds and his creative process. Keep it close for an offbeat reading break, share a favorite page with a friend, or wrap it up for a birthday, holiday, or just-because gift.
