Neglected Murderesses, 2009 Wall Calendar [Wall Calendar] [Calendar]

Pomegranate (Editor), Edward Gorey (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2008

Christened Angelica Transome, in a village infelicitously named Nether Postlude, a girl might be tempted to behave ghoulishly. And having misbehaved, might she not think herself deserving of a headline or two, possibly a mini-series, if only after the hangman had got her? But no. Neglected was Angelica and neglected too were the eleven other thugs, poisoners, sportswomen, and hobbyists assembled here for a belated commemoration. If not for Gorey's droll sleuthing, we might never have appreciated the important part women have played in the history of homicide.

Size: 12 x 13 in.; opens to 12 x 26 in.

It will be enjoyed by every E. Gorey fan. Nice large blocks to write in info for the old-fashioned types who may not use electronic organizers, blackberries or Mircosoft outlook. Comes with an insert of "International Holidays for 2009," so if you need to know when Carnival is happening in Brazil, you can mark it off.
