“Before Tim Burton there was Edward Gorey”. A blog with this title led me to the writer and illustrator who created ‘The Gashlycrumb Tinies’ in 1963, a morbid alphabet book about 26 children who died in creative ways. I started out to make such an alphabet too – and came up with too many options for the text to fit into one version. So here are the ladies. The gents are on another board. Enjoy.
