5.0 out of 5 based on 1 reviews. – Customer review on 10/01/2008

This is just a lovely book for children who have a really good sense of humour, or for grown-up children with the same sense of humour. Like all of Edward Gorey's books, a dark sense of humour is needed to get a lot of the jokes, but if you are the right kind of person, you should get a lot of laughs out of this. The illustrations are just beautiful in their own way, and this hardcover edition should be really nice.
