About This Item
Synopsis
Edward Gorey was a master of gothic art and poetry. His Edwardian and Victorian influenced limericks and verse are light-hearted, yet tragic and over the top with dreadful comic mishaps, as illustrated in one of the stories included, The Gashlycrumb Tinies: "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs / B is for Basil assaulted by bears / C is for Clara who wasted away ..." The Amphigorey contains: The Unstrung Harp, The Listing Attic, The Doubtful Guest, The Object Lesson, The Bug Book, The Fatal Lozenge, The Hapless Child, The Curious Sofa, The Willowdale Handcar, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Insect God, The West Wing, The Wuggly Ump, The Sinking Spell, and The Remembered Visit.
