Edward Gorey
THE GASHLYCRUMB TINIES
The Gashlycrumb Tinies: or, After the Outing
is a book written by Edward Gorey
that was first published in 1963.
Gorey tells the tale of 26 children
(each representing a letter of the alphabet)
and their untimely demise in rhyming dactylic couplets,
such as “A is for Amy who fell down the stairs.
B is for Basil assaulted by bears.”
The book takes the reader through the complete alphabet,
accompanied by Gorey’s black and white illustrations.
