Review of "The Gashlycrumb Tinies 2006 Calendar" by Edward Gorey

The Gashlycrumb Tinies 2006 Calendar

From "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs," all the way through the alphabet, more tragedies appear . This is the Gorey way and I always love to read everything by this strange, talented man.

This is a cautionary alphabet that will instill some prudence in the young. They will learn that they should not resort to under-carpet crawling and to avoid dangerous objects. It's a dark, and a delightful calendar for 2006.
