Alison Bechdel recommended Amphigorey: Fifteen Stories in Books (curated)

 
Amphigorey: Fifteen Stories
Amphigorey: Fifteen Stories
Edward Gorey | 2004 | Humor & Comedy
9.3 (3 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"This is actually is fifteen of Edward Gorey’s illustrated masterpieces in one. My favorite is The Unstrung Harp, about a novelist writing his biennial book—the funniest and most accurate description of the creative process I’ve ever seen."

Amazing illustrations that bring the story to life in a new way. The illustrations range from colorful and fun to a bit dark and eerie. I received illustrated editions of the first three books for my birthday. I love them!

A wonderful story, told in rhyme, about Bristle the Red Squirrel and his family and their plight against the Grey Squirrels. Each page is richly illustrated, inspiring many talking points for younger readers.

I got this book from Goodreads for review.

Beautifully illustrated and brings new life to an old favourite of mine would definitely recommend buying this for people who have never read The Count of Monte Christo as it might encourage them to buy and read a classical version of it.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I think kids will get a kick out of this charming, welll-illustrated book. I have my doubts as to whether these animals are "gross" but it's still a fun read.

If your not used to the manga tradition of reading back to front this can be slightly confusing to start with but once you are used to it becomes easier. The book is well designed and beautifully illustrated though out and brings new life to classic works of Edgar Allan Poe.
