The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey
At one point in time I illustrated my own version, I think I made it to like 20 plates out of 26 or so.
I had to stop working on the project while ‘out’ at like work or cafes, because people would snoop over my shoulder and then assume that I’m a fucking psycho. When I started the project, I had assumed that it was a relatively common and well-known little picturebook. Turns out no.
Are there any pics that you could share?
Not easily - I think that notebook is living at my mum’s house, from rather a while ago before I moved out.
I absolutely can when I am next there and manage to dig it up - I’ll try and remember to ping you once that happens.

I had these as a kid. At least I think I did… I vividly remember the art and rhymes. It had to be in the Vinegar Works book, because I vaguely remember the cover art. What a crazy blast from the past!
I had a large poster-sized version of this on foam core board on the wall of my bedroom as a teen.
Sl…sto…plea…SLOW DOWN SO I CAN READ!
