Summary:

This lovely collection offers an inside view into the friendship between author and artist as well as rare insight on several of their respective and collaborated books and the processes involved in creating and publishing them. Beginning as a professional correspondence in 1968 when Gorey was hired to Illustrate Neumeyer's Donald and the..., the letters span a thirteen-month period during which the oft speculated about Gorey reveals his passion for ballet, literature, and Zen as two complete three children's stories together and trade their favorite books. The volume is a quality production-- thick glossy paper, Smythe sown -- and includes numerous color illustrations, sketches and photographs; perhaps the most charming of which are reproductions of the envelopes that Gorey heavily illustrated and which Neumeyer states in his introduction that he very much looked forward to receiving.
