Product Description

Review

"A master of a genre of graphic storytelling [and] a brilliant draftsman." -- New York Times Book Review

Book Description

In this enigmatic, surreal, wonderfully entertaining tale, three mysterious figures set out from Willowdale, traveling by handcar. On the way to nowhere in particular they pass a number of odd characters and observe a series of baffling phenomena, from a house burning down in a field to a palatial mansion perched precariously on a bluff. At once deeply vexing and utterly hilarious, darkly mysterious and amusingly absurd, The Willowdale Handcar is vintage Edward Gorey.

This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: Or the Return Of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
Those who know Edward Gorey know his humour is not for everyone. That said, for those who appreciate this shade of humour (often also fans of the likes of Tim Burton and Charles Addams), this will be a treat. I'll admit that I laughed myself silly with The Willowdale Handcart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale for the Age of Uncertainty., Jan 3 2007
By A. Davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: Or the Return Of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
If you have given up on trying to find meanings, or causes and effects, a Gorey book will be just right for you, and this is pne of his best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Edward Gorey at His Best, Jan 6 2009

This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: Or the Return Of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
The Willowdale Handcar is hilarious. The main characters inexplicably ride a handcar past all kinds of shocking and tragic scenes, about which they barely even comment. An underlying mystery develops but remains only vaguely resolved. Edward Gorey's characters are colorful and entertainingly odd.
