"In 1963, prolific illustrator and author Edward Gorey (1925–2000) published an alphabet book so grimly antithetical to the very premise of the genre — making children feel comfortable and inspiring them to learn — that it took the macabre humor genre to a new level. 'A is for Amy who fell down the stairs,' The Gashlycrumb Tinies begins. 'B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away. D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh…' " Condition: Excellent minus preowned condition, coming from a smoke-free, pet-free environment. Binding tight, pages clean and unmarked (Mystery! bookplate with Mr. Gorey's signature laid in on the front end paper), covers have light general wear (very light edge wear and general light surface wear).
