Would you not like to A) go back in time and watch this performed live, in the shadow of those fantastic sets, or B) make yourself small enough to frolic in the paper doll version?  Or yes to both?  What visual wit.  “The Gashlycrumb Tinies” have been bubbling up lately, prompting me to remember and renew my admiration for and delight in the work of the great Mr. Gorey.  (P.S., Puggy would have loved it.)

I have an original copy of this, though can’t of course bring myself to cut into it. The perpetual dilemma of the toy theatre collector.

- oh Clive, you would have one! Would you consider sending me a close-up JPEG to post?

Who nowadays is doing onstage glory like Gorey?

The house is in chaos with re-wiring and re-plumbing. But if I can find the damned printer under one of the tottering piles of our possessions, I shall happily oblige. (-;
