Pretty sure I’ll be dreaming Edward Gorey. Though hopefully not The Curious Sofa (omg that was brilliant and weird and fantastic but I don’t want to live it…) Maybe Old Possum’s Cats? Please? Does my subconscious do requests?
So... I read a bit about Edward Gorey. - Then I read The Unstrung Harp, which was beautifully absurd and yet which seemed also to be somehow delightfully accurate, about the life of a novelist. I wouldn't really know, though.
Just gonna have to find some more EG books!
So glad you are finding warmth, magic and friendship all around. :-)

The Kwongdzu is still my favourite. 😉

I love that Edward Gorey is going around the Heathers! He is such a fascinating character.
I haven’t read The Unstrung Harp, and I’ll have to find myself a copy 💖
My favourite story is The Uninvited Guest. And I adore the alphabet book. I love how he meshes whimsy and darkness. And the illustrations are so lush.
