Additional Product Features
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.

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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Amusing, charming and gruesome. Love the art.
Only some of us (especially artists, I think) love Edward Gorey. I believe he created the original Addams Family. This little book is an alphabet of amusingly gruesome ways children (the "Tinies") meet their fate. Love the art! That is why I bought it, to practice drawing as he does.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Perfect for Edward Gorey fans!
Exactly what I was looking for. It's a gift for a co-worker who has a slightly dark sense of humor. This little book was the right size for the right price. Love it, thanks!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Delightfully eerie!
If you are into fun strange, Edward Goreys' Ghashly Tinies is for you! The alphabet will never be the same after reading this book. Simply beautiful illustrations delights the eye but confuses the mind. Love It!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
