The Gashlycrumb Tinies

i know i know the video was cute..but it really went on my nerves...so i had to give it a time out and load up something different...less commercial but more what i like today: dead children..yaye! i think they are wonderfully done and i also love the book...so here they are: gashlycrumb tienies

actually i love all of edward goreys books and i rember when i got them as a kid from my mom ..the delightfull terror which got all over me and when i laid in bed at night and thought of the children dying their undignified somewhat victorian deads...ah.. sweet terror of mine..:-)

Cool.

I didn't think I was going to watch the whole thing, but I did, and kept letting out little "OOOOH"s and shivering. Such lonely little deaths. I read this a long time ago but had forgotten most of them. Thank you for posting this, I needed a reminder.
