THE GILDED BAT
by Edward Gorey
Illustrated by Edward Gorey
Published by Jonathan Cape. 1st. 1967
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. The life and art of a fabled ballerina, discovered at the age of five, forged into fineness, polished in the provinces, established in luxury by the Baron - yet nun-like in her devotion to the Dance - she achieves apotheosis in her immortal role, La Chauve-Souris Doree. Black pictorial matt boards, 6.25 x 7". One or two sentences of text opposite full page b/w illustration.
A little wear to spine and corners. Light browning to endpapers. Foxing, mainly to text block. Dustwrapper is edge worn, corners have been cut from flaps. Light brown marks on verso.
