Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. Edward Gorey (illustratore). 1st Edition. Pomegranate Catalog No. A679, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Relatively few people had the opportunity to visit the enigmatic Edward Gorey in his home, and among those who did, even fewer were permitted to see the entire house. This kind and openhearted man was also a private man, usually preferring the company of his cats to that of his two-legged acquaintances. [] But much about Gorey was revealed in his environment. His house in Yarmouthport, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, was filled with his multifarious collections of objects, from books and bottles to finials and rings, stuffed animals and rocks. He arranged his clutter in an order that made sense only to him. [] In ELEPHANT HOUSE or The Home of Edward Gorey, Kevin McDermott elegantly documents in rich duotone and full-color photographs this chockablock house, room by room, just as Gorey left it when he died in April 2000. With each picture we obtain new insight into a man whose prolific creative genius was fed as much by his keen intelligence as by his flights of whimsy and absurdity. We are startled by the simple beauty of his arrangement of blue glass bottles in a library window. In noticing that his kitchen counter is almost completely covered by an arrangement of rocks, we wonder how he managed to entertain guests with a home-cooked dinner of all-blue food. And we linger over the picture of his desk, imaginging him at work there; it is such a small desk, blotted with ink (of course!) and crowded with pens, rubber stamps, a ruler--and a black old-style dial phone. [] ELEPHANT HOUSE may be the most intimate portrait of Edward Gorey ever published. McDermott's reminiscences and descriptions of the house accompany his engaging photographs, and more than a dozen of Gorey's etchings and drawings of elephants--never before published--are paired with quotes from the artist. Through this portrait, Edward Gorey becomes even more the man we all wish we had had the chance to meet, an artist whose brilliant and hilarious art and words will continue to charm and delight us for generations to come." [jacket copy] "Kevin McDermott's photographs bring us closer to Gorey than his art. Gorey the householder feels like a happier man, who threw nothing out, and kept the pleasure in everything. The odd miniature worlds of his books were ones he somehow wanted to inhabit; here is the world, equally personal and creative, that he did inhabit."--John Updike. Pristine hardcover, beautifully photographed, w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact, fine as new jacket. Quite presentable & collectible.

The first publication in book form of two stories Ronald Firbank wrote during his years at Cambridge, which first appeared in Cambridge's undergraduate magazine, THE GRANTA, in 1906 and 1907. In an unpublished memoir of Edward Gorey and the Albondocani Press, Albondocani founder George Bixby recounts approaching Gorey about illustrating the work: "I thought the Firbank stories would be an ideal project for illustrations by Gorey, told him about the stories, and asked him if he would be interested in making some drawings to accompany them. He was immediately interested. 'Firbank is one of my oldest passions,' he told me. In THE BLUE ASPIC, Gorey's spoof of opera, the hero, 'Jasper went without lunch three days running to buy Caviglia's recording of "Vivi con una mira" from IL FIORE SOTTO IL PIEDE." This title is a translation of THE FLOWER BENEATH THE FOOT, the title of one of Firbank's novels."Gorey initially produced two section title page drawings with title lettering for the stories. After Bixby received the proofs of the of the text from printer William Ferguson in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he observed that because of the breaks in the stories, he was left with four pages that contained only half a page of text. Gorey volunteered to make four additional drawings to fill the spaces. "We had previously discussed a fee for his work, but he told me that since he _wanted_ to do the drawings for these stories he would leave it up to me to pay him whatever I could manage. Since the project was being done on a shoestring budget, I offered Gorey $100, and he accepted my offer without further comment." With a foreword by Firbank biographer and bibliographer Miriam J. Benkowitz. Benkovitz A26. Toledano B52b. From the collection of George Bixby.
