The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey

A is for AMY who fell down the stairs
B is for BASIL assaulted by a bear.

… and so it goes on, an A to Z of poor little orphans + their untimely ends. (Right up to the unfortunate ZILLA, who simply drank too much gin.) The Gashlycrumb Tinies is one of Edward Gorey’s perfectly creepy, amusing books that inspired Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman + Guillermo Del Toro. This collector’s edition of Gorey’s pocket-sized masterpiece comes in a special slipcase with ribbon. Hardcover. 64 pages.
