The cover title is Der Traurige Zwolfpfunder which Edward Gorey has translated to The Blue Aspic, "an opera book without libretto or score, which nevertheless portrays the tragedy of unrequited love. An intruiging Gorey spoof." Read the gothic humor in Gorey's fine line drawings and dry wit.
No dust jacket. Rubbing and bumping. Includes order form for other Edward Gorey books from Hawthorn Books.
