"A is for Amy, who fell down the stairs"
"B is for Basil, assaulted by bears"
"C is for Clara, who wasted away"
"D is for Desmond, thrown out of a sleigh"
"E is for Ernest, who choked on a peach"
"F is for Fanny, sucked dry by a leech..."
And on through "Zillah, who drank too much gin." Marvellous - the complete pictures and the text by Edward Gorey (probably without copyright permission, but who knows. Better enjoy it now before it's deleted).
Until I read more about this, I didn't realize that Gorey wasn't British.
