Additional Product Features
Reviews"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 a small hardcover edition like this one, which is the true format for Edward Gorey's specialty, the adult picture book.

One of the Best American Authors
Remember Mystery! on public television? Edward Gorey drew the introductory cartoon! His macabre sense of humor and unique drawing style keep your interest book after book. The Gashlycrumb Tinies alphabet book is a must for your Edward Gorey collection.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Buy it.
Excellent book. I bought it as much for me to read as I did for my 8 year old, who wasn't overly interested. Maybe a bit morbid for some parents taste, but probably not the ones looking the book up on Ebay as a potential purchase. Enjoy!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Unique and edgy little book; wonderful to display for guests amusement.
This little book is such a gem. The cover alone is display worthy. The pen-hatch drawings within, are just lovely and reminiscent of a much earlier time. I wanted to keep this little ditty once I read them all, but alas, I had purchased it as a gif for someone who could really enjoy it. Needless to say, it was well received. I think I will treat myself to another.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Amusing, charming and gruesome. Love the art.
Only some of us (especially artists, I think) love Edward Gorey. I believe he created the original Addams Family. This little book is an alphabet of amusingly gruesome ways children (the "Tinies") meet their fate. Love the art! That is why I bought it, to practice drawing as he does.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
