Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well...

It's possible that the following violates several copyright laws but that's certainly not the spirit I post a facsimile of this dark, weird and wonderful little book. I've been a fan of Edward Gorey for years and have purchased more than my fair share of his books, both for myself and others. If I had the opportunity to buy this one right now in a local bookstore, I would. My intent is simply to share something I love and hope that it tickles you as much as it does me. With any luck, I'll have created another Gorey fan or two by the end of this post. Enjoy.

Love it! When I got to Z...I thought "there is no such thing as too much gin!" Tested that theory and found out I was wrong.

You can probably imagine how much this inspired me when I was growing up as a young line artist with an affinity for the macabre. This was all I had before Court TV and True Crime books!

I always felt bad for poor Hector.
