By Edward Gorey. New edition!
A marvelous story set to deceptively pleasant rhymes and illustrated in Gorey's (1925-2000) inimitable style. This lightheated and mildly unsettling cautionary tale has delighted legions of Gorey fans since its first publication in 1963. You might recognize the drawings of this playwright and award-winning set and costume designer from the animated introductions to the PBS series Mystery.
