Per the dust jacket flap Edward Gorey decided to illustrate this poem because it "was taught to me by my grandfather when I was four or five and it has always been one of my favourites."<br/><br/>Edward St. John Gorey 1925-2000 had a distinctive style evocative of a mystical gothic Victorian era and his vast body of work includes over one hundred books written by himself as well as those by many well-known authors such as T. S. Eliot Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll H. G. Wells and Virginia Woolf n. b. info from the Edward Gorey House website - and of course this work.
