Long out of print, "The Recently Deflowered Girl" is a tongue-in-cheek guide providing advice for that trickiest of situations. In the voice of Miss Hyachinthe Phypps, Mel Juffe's hilarious yet demure counsel is delightfully accompanied by Edward Gorey's ink and watercolor illustrations.
Edward Gorey's The West Wing is an invitation to the imagination. On each page, a room beckons, inviting the reader to wonder why three shoes lie here abandoned, what is retreating in that mirror's reflection, or why there is an imprint of a body on the wallpaper, faded and floating four feet above the floor. A wordless mystery, it is one of Gorey's finest works.

Oskar Kokoschka nannte den jungen Edward Gorey "sublim, absurd und mystisch", die 'New York Times' stellte ihn kurz vor seinem Tod auf eine Stufe mit Gustave Dor?, Ren? Magritte, Max Ernst und Edgar Allan Poe, 'The New Yorker' nannte ihn schlicht "ein Genie". Heute, kaum zehn Jahre nach seinem Tod, ist Edward Goreys Haus in Cape Cod ein Museum und die Bezeichnung "goreyesk" im angelsächsischen Raum so selbsterklärend wie "kafkaesk" oder "fellinesk". Lange Zeit vergriffen, versammelt 'The Lugubrious Library' die zehn schönsten Bildergeschichten von Edward Gorey in einer bibliophilen Geschenkbox: im akribischen Federstrich festgehaltene Geschichten, die auf verfallenden Landsitzen, in bizarren Parks und düsteren Landschaften spielen und von kauzigen Menschen und anderen bizarren Wesen bevölkert werden.
In this enigmatic, surreal, wonderfully entertaining tale, three mysterious figures set out from Willowdale, travelling by handcar. On the way to nowhere in particular they pass a number of odd characters and observe a series of baffling phenomena, from a house burning down in a field to a palatial mansion perched precariously on a bluff. At once deeply vexing and utterly hilarious, darkly mysterious and amusingly absurd, "The Willowdale Handcar" is vintage Edward Gorey.

Come join the fun!

Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, "The Grand Panjandrum," The Object-Lesson presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres, and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku, and lots of good fun. With its humorous obscurity and puzzling intrigues, The Object-Lesson delights and provokes.
The Haunted Looking Glass is the late Edward Gorey's selection of his favorite tales of ghosts, ghouls, and grisly goings-on. It includes stories by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, M. R. James, W. W. Jacobs, and L. P. Hartley, among other masters of the fine art of making the flesh creep, all accompanied by Gorey's inimitable illustrations. ALGERNON BLACKWOOD, "The Empty House"W. F. HARVEY, "August Heat"CHARLES DICKENS, "The Signalman"L. P. HARTLEY, "A Visitor from Down Under"R. H. MALDEN, "The Thirteenth Tree"ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, "The Body-Snatcher"E.

The inhabitants of the ever-so-popular Haunted Tea-Cosy return in a new holiday tale. As we wander off with Edward Gorey into the next millennium our reasons for being here are far from clear.
It's difficult to say what The Iron Tonic is about, although it is "known the skating pond conceals a family of enormous eels," and that "the light is fading from the day. The rest is darkness and dismay." Finally, though, The Iron Tonic could be seen as Edward Gorey's version of a winter afternoon in one of the great Russian novels of the nineteenth century.
Brings together seventeen illustrated nonsense compositions, including "Epiplective Bicycle," "The Utter Zoo," "The Blue Aspic," "The Sopping Thursday," and "The Glorious Nosebleed"

The inspiration for the iconic musical Cats, T. S. Eliot's classic and delightful collection of poetry about cats, with whimsical illustrations by Edward Gorey. These playful verses by a celebrated poet have delighted readers and cat lovers around the world since they were gathered for publication in 1939. As Valerie Eliot has pointed out, there are a number of references to cats in T. S. Eliot's work, but it was to his godchildren, particularly Tom Faber and Alison Tandy, that he first revealed himself as "Old Possum" and for whom he composed his poems. This captivating edition is a curious and artful homage to felines young and old, merry and fierce, small and unmistakably round. Also includes Edward Gorey's charming pen and ink illustrations. Gorey gives a fresh intepretation of "Mr. Mistoffelees," "Growltiger," "The Rum Tum Tugger," "Bustopher Jones," "Skimbleshanks," "Macavity: the Mystery Cat," and a variety of other memorable feline strays all of whom have been brought to life on the stage in the hit musical Cats.
