The cult book by Edward Gorey the genius who inspired Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro
The Gashlycrumb Tinies is a rhyming alphabet unlike any other- melancholy, strange and quite phantasmagorically witty.
A is for AMY who fell down the stairs
B is for BASIL assaulted by bears
C is for CLARA who wasted away...
... and so it goes on, an A to Z of poor little orphans and their untimely ends. Right up to ZILLAH, who drank too much gin.
This edition of the book comes in a special slipcase with ribbon.
