GOREY, Edward.
The Gorey Alphabet Book.
First edition. 12mo. Pink illustrated boards. London: Constable, 1961.
The first UK edition of Gorey's miniature alphabet book for adults. Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by its own ominous verse and an equally unsettling drawing. Brilliantly inventive, the book opens with 'An Apparition of her lover' and ends with 'The Zouave used to war and battle'.
