A very conversational look at Edward Gorey’s life. The text is rhythmic and poetic, but the illustrations simply take the cake.

As a lifelong fan of Edward Gorey, it was so stirring to read this story of his life written for children. I was so impressed with Chloe Bristol’s use of his style in the illustrations. The author, Lori Mortensen, wrote about Gorey the way I might have—with love for this curious, unique, wonderful man who made the world all the more strange and wonderful.

Very cute mini biography of Edward Gorey, illustrated in a similar style to his own.
