  • Two masters team up to tickle your funny bone in this little stocking stuffer. Pulitzer Prizewinning novelist John Updike wrote the text, which, among other holiday musings, questions the motives of Santa Claus: A man of no plausible address, with no apparent source for his considerable wealth, comes down the chimney after midnight while decent, law-abiding citizens are snug in their bedsis this not, at the least, cause for alarm? And Updikes jaundiced take on Christmas is perfectly complemented by the darkly humorous drawings of Edward Gorey, whose trademark anxious naifs are here beset by ubiquitous yuletide misfortune. Ho-ho-ouch!
  • This long out-of-print classic is the perfect stocking-stuffer for any bah humbug.
  • By John Updike & Drawings by Edward Gorey
  • Hardcover Smyth-sewn casebound book, with jacket
  • 32 pages, with more than a dozen black-and-white illustrations
  • Size 4 x 5 in.
  • About the artist: Edward St. John Gorey was a Harvard grad, a brilliant artist, a celebrated set and costume designer (his costumes for a Broadway production of Dracula earned him a Tony Award), a lover of animals (particularly cats) and the arts (he seldom missed a performance of the New York City Ballet), and an avid deltiologistan obscure word so Goreylike you might think he invented it himself (it means a collector of postcards). His humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents often facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series Mystery!
