Summary
The perfectly creepy, amusing book that inspired Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman and Guillermo Del Toro.
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 the unfortunate ZILLA, who simply drank too much gin.)
This collector’s edition of Edward Gorey’s pocket-sized masterpiece comes in a special slipcase with ribbon.

Critics Review
Gorey was the master of the macabre and The Gashlycrumb Tinies was his masterpiece: a doomladen abecedary of infant disaster and sudden awful endings. For years I had it on my wall as a poster. Now I will have a beautiful object to love. – Neil GaimanEDWARD GOREY. American. A singularity. Prose & images, redolent of Victorian dread and beauty. Influenced Tim Burton. – Guillermo Del Toro
