A review by mat_tobin
The Dwindling Party by Edward Gorey
3.0
There once was a family whose name was MacFizzet
(Two parents, five children) who only last fall
Put on their best clothes and then set out to visit
The varied distractions of Hickyacket Hall.
This is the first Gorey that I have encountered apart from seeing what @tygertale has on his blog. Wonderfully dark and macabre, I would love to share this with children and see what they make of watching each of young Neville's family being devoured as you turn the pages. The interactive nature of the book means that you can take great pleasure in discovering how each family member is taken by the various dangerous denizens of Hickyacket Hall.
