W is for Winnie Embedded in Ice
For FGR and Gashlycrumb Tinies.
The original drawings are great but I had never heard of the book til now.
The Gashlycrumb Tinies 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.
