Happy Birthday Edward Gorey

Edward Gorey was born on February 22, 1925. Among other things, he is remembered as a writer and illustrator of odd books. A little nonsense here. A tragic story there. Tiny monsters in every picture over there. Alphabet books as well. He enjoyed using pen names that were anagrams of his own. Here are some of them: Ogdred Weary, Eduard Blutig, Mrs. Regera Dowdy, Raddory Gewe, Dogear Wryde, E. G. Deadworry, Edward Pig, Wardore Edgy, Madame Groeda Weyrd, and D. Awdrey-Gore. He died April 15, 2000.
