Artist and author Edward Gorey is beloved for his boundless imagination and sharp humor. His profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals and his humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents facing unfortunate ends have inspired generations of artists and authors to embrace the obtuse. This set includes his fifth abecedarium (alphabet book!), a board game that delights in his trademark sense of impending doom, a puzzle of most of his most obscure characters, and his catastrophic rendition of a tarot card deck. An $82 value.
