A wonderfully strange collection of three stories illustrated by the incomparable Edward Gorey, whose intricate black-and-white drawings bring an atmosphere of mystery, melancholy, and dark whimsy to every page.
Published by Addison-Wesley in 1976, Gorey x 3 brings together two works by Edward Lear and one by Peter F. Neumeyer:
The Jumblies — Edward Lear
The Dong with a Luminous Nose — Edward Lear
Donald and the… — Peter F. Neumeyer
Gorey’s distinctive illustrations transform these curious tales into dreamlike landscapes of lonely figures, turbulent seas, strange creatures, and mysterious places.
With its unusual horizontal format, olive-gold illustrated cover, and beautifully detailed artwork, this vintage volume is a lovely addition to a collection of illustrated literature, Victorian nonsense poetry, and the wonderfully macabre.
