Edward Gorey: The Hapless Child
The saga of petite Charlotte Sophia's catastrophic life is classic Gorey. Orphaned, hazed by schoolmates, enslaved by a brute, she survives by the skin of her baby teeth. And then…but we won't give away the gruesome end. Back in print after many years, The Hapless Child is widely considered one of Gorey's best books. The minute details of his brilliant penwork invite us to explore every deliciously dark corner. Hardcover, 64 pages, 30 black‑and‑white illustrations.
