Description
About the Book
Being a tale--perhaps an allegory--of deceptive simplicity, with universal meaning for all civilized men and women, Gorey's "The Doubtful Guest" is republished here in a deluxe hardcover edition at an eerily low price.Book Synopsis
A vaguely sinister comedy of manners by beloved artist Edward Gorey Told in a set of fourteen rhyming couplets, The Doubtful Guest is the story of a solemn, mysterious, outdoor creature, dressed rather ordinarily in sneakers and a scarf, who appears on a winter night at a family's Victorian home and never leaves again. Gorey's eerie and charming illustrations accompany the verses, making this an enjoyably strange (and strangely enjoyable) read for all ages.Additional product information and recommendations
