Edward Gorey Coloring Book, by Edward Gorey

Edward Gorey Coloring Book, by Edward Gorey. 2017 hardcover. 56 pages, very nice condition.

A beautifully ridiculous coloring book in true Gorey fashion. Edward Gorey is famous for masterful pen-and-ink crosshatched drawings and ironic, offbeat humor. He won critical acclaim and an avid worldwide following during his prolific career, producing more than one hundred illustrated works, creating prize-winning set and costume designs for Broadway shows, and illustrating the works of many well-known authors, including Raymond Chandler, T. S. Eliot, Gilbert & Sullivan, Edward Lear, Bram Stoker, and Virginia Woolf. With his enigmatic and often darkly humorous tales full of eccentrics, Gorey left his unique stamp on American art and culture. All of Gorey's characters inhabit an enigmatic, often vaguely Edwardian world, where human foibles and frailties are deftly assuaged by witty flights of fantasy.
