Customer Reviews

From the Publisher

"Edward Gorey (1925-2000), master of the laughably macabre, creator of the satisfyingly creepy, and writer of the oddly wonderful, has entertained us in a unique, unusual way through his numerous accounts of hilariously unfortunate events. His most amusing tales and images perhaps are those of poor, luckless children. Drawn in pen and ink in droll Edwardian style, blank-faced children in mournful dramas, such as pious Henry Clump, homely Theoda, and hapless Charlotte Sophia, are all subjected to wretched fates. Each postcard in this book of 30 darkly delightful illustrations is accompanied by text from Gorey's stories of woeful urchins. "Click on the small picture above to see a sample card, illustration and text from 'The Tuning Fork.' Pomegranate's books of postcards contain thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver. Note: postcards are oversized and may require additional postage. ISBN: 0-7649-1647-5."--© Pomegranate
