I think I was first exposed to Edward Gorey's art on the cover of the book The House with a Clock in its Walls by John Bellairs. And then I remember the opening to the PBS show Mystery which I LOVED. AND THEN I found the book The Shrinking of Treehorn! It is one of my all-time favorite books and Gorey was the incredible illustrator. When I saw and read Nonsense! The Curious Story of Edward Gorey I found out that he not only was an illustrator, but also an author. Shame on me for not knowing that before this! The Wuggly Ump was wonderful! As was Nonsense!
