Books, Cats, Life is Good. —Edward Gorey

When people are finding meaning in things — beware.  —Edward Gorey

A Gorey Alligator for Serenity Spell

Happy birthday to one of the world’s most clever and whimsical illustrators and authors….. Quirky, prolific, and a true talent. I still adore you, Mr. Gorey!

For a fantastic book detailing the inner workings of Gorey, pick up Elephant House or, The Home of Edward Gorey. For more information, visit their website.
