  | | The Doubtful Guest(Reprint) by Edward Gorey Hardcover, 32 Pages, Published 1998 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ISBN-13: 978-0-15-100313-6, ISBN: 0-15-100313-0 "Originally published in 1957, The Doubtful Guest serves as a prime example of the beauty, eccentricity, and brilliance of Edward Gorey's work. If the book was read aloud without revealing the accompanying black-and-white drawings, you might guess the tale came from the quirky genius of Dr. Seuss. The rhyming couplets and nonsensical verse (about an even more nonsensical creature) feel familiar, but in Gorey's skilled hands, the ex ..." |
 | | Gashlycrumb Tinies - Or, After The Outing by Edward Gorey Hardcover, 64 Pages, Published 1991 by Harcourt Brace & Co ISBN-13: 978-0-15-100308-2, ISBN: 0-15-100308-4 ""A is for Amy who fell down the stairs. B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away. D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh..." The rhyming couplets of this grim abecedarian are familiar, of course, to devotees of macabre humor, but the darkly crosshatched drawings are (as Poe put it) "the soul of the plot." Several years went by during which The Gashlycrumb Tinies: Or, After the Outing was not available in ..." |

And suddenly, after the death of his parents, he finds himself in just such a mansion--his Uncle Jonathan's.

The rest is darkness and dismay." Finally, though, The Iron Tonic could be seen as Edward Gorey's version of a winter afternoon in one of the great Russian novels of the nineteenth century." |

On each page, a room beckons, inviting the reader to wonder why three shoes lie here abandoned, what is retreating in that mirrorâs reflection, or why there is an imprint of a body on the wallpaper, faded and floating four feet above the floor. A wordless mystery, it is one of Goreyâs finest works." |

As always, Gorey's painstakingly cross- hatched pen and ink drawings are perfectly suited to his oddball verse and prose. The first book of 15, "The Unstrung Harp," describes the writing process of novelist Mr. Clavius Frederick Earbrass: "He must be mad to go on enduring the unexquisite agony of writin ..." |
