On November 18th of alternate years Mr Earbrass begins writing 'his new novel.' Weeks ago he chose its title at random from a list of them he keeps in a little green note-book. It being tea-time of the 17th, he is alarmed not to have thought of a plot to which The Unstrung Harp might apply, but his mind will keep reverting to the last biscuit on the plate." So begins what the Times Literary Supplement called "a small masterpiece." TUH is a look at the literary life and its "attendant woes: isolation, writer's block, professional jealousy, and plain boredom." But, as with all of Edward Gorey's books, TUH is also about life in general, with its anguish, turnips, conjunctions, illness, defeat, string, parties, no parties, urns, desuetude, disaffection, claws, loss, trebizond, napkins, shame, stones, distance, fever, antipodes, mush, glaciers, incoherence, labels, miasma, amputation, tides, deceit, mourning, elsewards. You get the point. Finally, TUH is about Edward Gorey the writer, about Edward Gorey writing The Unstrung Harp. It's a cracked mirror of a book, and it's dedicated to RDP or Real Dear Person.

Adorable Fathers Day book!
Format: Board book
I got this book for my husband for Father’s Day, and it’s absolutely adorable. The message is sweet and heartfelt, focusing on how Dad supports, plays with, and loves his child. The writing has a lovely, warm tone that’s perfect for reading aloud together. The book itself is also excellent quality — it has a thick padded cover and sturdy board book pages that can withstand little hands. The illustrations are vibrant with great color contrast, which keeps our toddler engaged. Highly recommend as a gift or a bedtime staple for any dad and child duo!

Cutest little story!
Format: Board book
I just got this for my son and his Daddy. The story is so cute and I may have gotten choked up at the end. If you’re looking for a story for your man to read to your little one(s), I highly recommend this one!
