Gashlycrumb Tinies

Описание и характеристики

It’s no secret I have a massive soft spot for alphabet books. In 1963, prolific illustrator and author Edward Gorey (February 22, 1925–April 15, 2000) published an alphabet book so grimly antithetical to the very premise of the genre — making children feel comfortable and inspiring them to learn — that it took the macabre humor genre to a new level. “A is for Amy who fell down the stairs,” The Gashlycrumb Tinies begins. “B is for Basil assaulted by bears. C is for Clara who wasted away. D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh…”

Part Tim Burton long before there was Burton, part Edgar Allan Poe long after Poe, the book exudes Gorey’s signature adult picture book mastery, not merely adorned by the gorgeously dark crosshatched illustrations but narratively driven by them.

Жуткое очарование
Маленькое, можно сказать, подарочное издание в кейсе с очаровательно-жуткими иллюстрациями Эдварда Гори. Простые, но при этом атмосферные и мрачные рисунки на плотной белой бумаге.
Подойдет в качестве подарка всем тем, кто любит всякую чернуху или мини форматы книг. Не подходит для детей)
Плюсы
Издание, наличие кейса, рисунки, качество бумаги
Минусы
Цена высоковата и на этом все :)
