Essential Alphabet

Watch this animation of Edward Gorey's poem about Enchanting tots essentially dying off in all kinds of ways for Alphabe-Thursday. He must have not liked kids .

The GashlyCrumb Tinies 
by Edward Gorey


E is for....

Which gashly tiny are you? mine is J and it seems that I took lye by mistake :(. Anyway I thought it was a good ABC poem in the spirit of halloween. The illlustrations are Exceptional .

This is a letter E edition of Alphabe Thursday I know the poem is called Gashly tinies and would be better as a letter G but really it has ALL of the alphabet and I posted it because of halloween . It's my second one so..... shhh

    Humorous & horrifying at the same time. Appropriate for halloween though, I guess!

  15. Oh man. I'm Maud, who was swept out to sea. Not so bad, except I'm terrified of being caught out in the middle of the ocean by myself. It's why I've never been on a cruise. :-)

  17. What a fun and macabre stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday! I was done in by lye, too!

    I am going to send this link to Julie Schuler. It reminded me a lot of her A-T links last season.

    And, Jackie. I love your new header, too!
