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.

    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!

    Hysterically Creepy!

    What a fantastically hysterical--yet somber--book! This alphabet book takes you quietly through the murders and untimely deaths of twenty-six tiny children in a way that's not offensive. Gorey's matter-of-fact black and white illustrations create a gray, somber world in which one actually expects unfortunate things to happen to these children. One by one, the children are assaulted by bears, thrown from a sleigh, done in by a thug, swallowing tacks, devoured by mice...it's a great coffee table book (or a great book for the creepy child in your life)! I highly recommend Edward Gorey's work. It's for anyone who has a slightly macabre sense of humor.

    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.
