About This Item
NY: Ivan Obolensky, Inc, 1964. Gorey, Edward. 12mo. (32)pp. First edition, signed by Gorey. Demonstrating his mastery of the imaginative leap, Gorey presents a story about "something way up high" that gradually descends through an old family home, to the point where "it's gone beneath the cellar floor. We shall not see it any more" - despite never having seen it at all. Minor soiling, otherwise fine in printed wrappers. (Toledano A17a).
