When a group of merry Victorian holiday-makers enter a park, they soon find it has a dark side...each illustration shows a new 'horror': I liked: 'The Rev Mr Floggle's cloth Is being nibbled by a moth' Accompanied by image of a huge black creature attacking a vicar. Things get worse...people disappear, plants eat them... Very entertaining work sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

A happy, naive family enters the Evil Garden (free admission!) to spend a sunny afternoon in its inviting landscape, lush with exotic trees and flowers. They soon realize their mistake, as harrowing sounds and evidence of foul play emerge. When humongous hairy bugs, famished carnivorous plants, ferocious fruit-guarding bears, and a sinister strangling snake take charge, the family¿s ominous feelings turn to full-on panic¿but where¿s the exit?Edward Gorey leads us through this nefarious garden with a light step. His unmistakable drawings paired with engaging couplets produce giggles, not gasps. Perhaps The Evil Garden is a morality ta≤ perhaps it¿s simply an enigmatic entertainment. Whatever the interpretation, it¿s a prime example of the iconic storytelling genius that is Edward Gorey. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The one of which you were forebode
To travel on when you were young
But a new day has sprung
You follow him
Cautious, intrigued, and on a whim
He beckons you, come and play
You are with him all day.
But now the road is dark and murky
You're feeling ill, unwell, less perky
The garden swallows you up whole
And Edward Gorey won't tell a soul. ( )
