Edward Gorey: The Gilded Bat & The Wuggly Ump
Two mordant masterpieces from the twisted mind and pen of Edward Gorey. The Gilded Bat presents the transformation of Maudie Splaytoe, a girl prone to staring at dead birds, into Mirella Splatova, a chic prima ballerina. Hardcover, 64 pages, 30 black-and-white illustrations. The Wuggly Ump charts the fate of three wholesome children who encounter a creature with a taste for tots. Hardcover, 32 pages, 14 color illustrations. Each is eerily fanciful and droll.
