- Description
- Influential author, illustrator, and book designer Edward Gorey is best known for his unconventional, darkly humorous portrayals of late-19th or early-20th century stock characters in dire straits. His allegiance to nonsense and surrealism, along with a satirical bent (especially towards matters of family life and childhood) means that his work is perennially popular with readers who appreciate irreverence. As an illustrator, his detailed illustrations, often heavily textured with cross-hatching, lend a richly imagined Gothic atmosphere to the work that they adorn. Start with: The Gashlycrumb Tinies (Adult); The Shrinking of Treehorn (Older Kids)
