No fue una lectura para mi, demasiado macabro para mi gusto.
Como no puedo salvar nada de esta lectura prefiero no colocarle puntuación

Ni fu ni fa, algunas ilustraciones me gustan, pero en general me fue muy gris.

Lær alfabetet med victoriansk børnedød - det er smukt og rimer!

Awesome as only Edward Gorey can be. I recommend this gruesome little treasure to anyone who has an odd sense of humour. ;)

I read both the English version and its Spanish translation and I was disappointed to see that the Spanish version did not include the rhymes present in the original.

Un delizioso abecedario dark, ogni lettera una brevissima filastrocca e un bambino morto.
Altro che coniglietti suicidi!
Sarei curiosa di mettere le mani sulla versione in inglese.

Riletto dopo poco più di un anno in inglese, confermo la sensazione: deliziosamente macabro.
In lingua originale rende ancora di più.

One of Edward Gorey's most well known books which has been quite controversial and is inspired by: “those 19th century cautionary tales, I guess, though my book is punishment without misbehavior.” This book contains 26 kids as characters who represent each letter from the english alphabet and their cause of death.
