A tale for the Age of Uncertainty.,
By
This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: or the Return of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
If you have given up on trying to find meanings, or causes and effects, a Gorey book will be just right for you, and this is pne of his best.

Edward Gorey at His Best,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: or the Return of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
The Willowdale Handcar is hilarious. The main characters inexplicably ride a handcar past all kinds of shocking and tragic scenes, about which they barely even comment. An underlying mystery develops but remains only vaguely resolved. Edward Gorey's characters are colorful and entertainingly odd.

Deliciously Absurd,
By J. Black (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Willowdale Handcar: or the Return of the Black Doll (Hardcover)
Those who know Edward Gorey know his humour is not for everyone. That said, for those who appreciate this shade of humour (often also fans of the likes of Tim Burton and Charles Addams), this will be a treat. I'll admit that I laughed myself silly with The Willowdale Handcart.
