There are a few things you should know about the artist Edward Gorey, the creator of the creatures in this sticker book! Mr. Gorey (American, 1925-2000) wrote and illustrated over 100 books; he also designed stage sets and costumes, wrote plays, and created the animated introduction for a TV series calledMystery!He drew a zoosize menagerie of fantastic beasts - some creepy, others lovable, others monstrous or just plain odd - as well as a slew of peculiar people. His characters are instantly recognizable, because he always drew them in a pen-and-ink crosshatch style. Gorey gave his creatures wonderful, playful names; for example, figbash and wuggly ump. His stories often involved mystery and intrigue; people disappearing and other bizarre mishaps. And Edward Gorey loved the ballet and was VERY fond of cats - something you might already have guessed. Lucky you!
