Serious Item Code: 134140Artist and author Edward Gorey (American, 1925–2000) is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. Gorey was also a set and costume designer for innumerable theater productions, including a staging of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, for which he won a Tony. He had a profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and animals. Cats and other odd creatures appear in many of his crosshatched illustrations. His humorously unsettling drawings of vaguely Victorian innocents facing unfortunate ends became familiar to a wide audience after appearing in the opening credits of the PBS television series Mystery! Gorey’s Cape Cod home, a veritable cabinet of curiosities, is now a museum celebrating his life and work.

Thoroughly loved every minute of putting this one together. First rate top quality puzzle pieces. It was like putting a bunch of small puzzles together then joining into larger. Lots of fine image detail to enjoy as put together too.
One of my all time favorite puzzles. Nice, thick, quality pieces, easy-on-the-eyes matte finish, and of course Edward Gorey subject matter keep me smirking!
The illustrations are lovely! The puzzle pieces have a nice feel to them because of their thickness. The only drawback is that the pieces are so regular that it's easy to believe a piece fits in a spot, only to discover it's not the right piece. Otherwise, this puzzle would get five stars.
Really enjoyed this puzzle. Pomeganate quality is tops, and the book covers are unusual.
Best quality pieces I have found. Sturdy and colorful.
These beautiful cover designs make the stories more intriguing!
Neither too hard nor too easy, and so satisfying. The quality is amazing - even the tiniest of lines show up at the edges of the pieces. Pieces fit exactly. Already bought more Pomegranate puzzles!!
It has been fun to put together
