The Glorious Nosebleed trips through the alphabet with illustrations that are both strikingly funny, and a bit weird, all the way from "She wandered among the trees Aimlessly" to "He wrote it all down Zealously." A classic of Gorey's imaginative and darkly humorous mind.
Author Biography
A truly prodigious and original artist, Edward St. John Gorey (1925-2000), gave to the world over one hundred works, including The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest and The Wuggly Ump; prize-winning set and costume designs for innumerable theater productions from Cape Cod to Broadway; a remarkable number of illustrations in publications such as The New Yorker and The New York Times. Gorey's masterful pen and ink illustrations and his ironic, offbeat humor have brought him critical acclaim and an avid following throughout the world.
