The Eclectic Abecedarium

The Eclectic Abecedarium by Edward Gorey

Never before available in color, or in a size fit for larger-than-thimble beings, The Eclectic Abecedarium conveys life's more crucial lessons in twenty-six painless steps.

Edward Gorey's first miniature book is an illustrated adventure through the English alphabet, accompanied by rhyming couplets penned by Gorey, who described his creations as "literary nonsense". Inspired by popular moral primers for children, Gorey created an updated version of Isaac Watt's alphabetic aphorisms. Part sweet songs of unseen birds and part cautionary tales, this abecedarium fully lives up to the epithet "eclectic".
