The Glorious Nosebleed

This book of postcards features the wickedly witty and delightfully detailed drawings of Edward Gorey, author-illustrator of The Doubtful Guest, The Abandoned Sock, The Gilded Bat, The Curious Sofa, and numerous other books. Taken from his book The Glorious Nosebleed, the images are Gorey#s imaginative and darkly hilarious interpretations of twenty-six adverbs, moving through the alphabet from A to Z. Revered as a master illustrator and wordsmith, Gorey is also famous for his set and costume designs and for the animated titles that introduce PBS#s Mystery series. 28 black-and-white drawings.
