Sobre este artículo
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1972. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The 1972 signed/limited edition, #32 OF 50 COPIES SIGNED BY EDWARD GOREY at the limitation. This edition calls for "an original ink and water colour drawing by the author", which this copy lacks. Still though, very scarce as such and a lovely copy to boot. Tight and Near Fine in its laminate boards. And in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine dustjacket, with a tiny chip at the rear panel's top-edge and a miniscule closed tear to the front panel's lower-edge. Quarto, internally immaculate, with no writing or markings of any kind. Also includes a sturdy, VG example (light soiling to the title label and along the rear panel) of the publisher's printed slipcase, which has clearly protected the book and dustjacket very well.
Sinopsis
Edward Gorey was a master of gothic art and poetry. His Edwardian and Victorian influenced limericks and verse are light-hearted, yet tragic and over the top with dreadful comic mishaps, as illustrated in one of the stories included, The Gashlycrumb Tinies: "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs / B is for Basil assaulted by bears / C is for Clara who wasted away ..." The Amphigorey contains: The Unstrung Harp, The Listing Attic, The Doubtful Guest, The Object Lesson, The Bug Book, The Fatal Lozenge, The Hapless Child, The Curious Sofa, The Willowdale Handcar, The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Insect God, The West Wing, The Wuggly Ump, The Sinking Spell, and The Remembered Visit.
