Praise

“This marvelous collection is the perfect way to deepen your love of Gorey (or, if you’re new to his work, fall in love with it)…. Gorey sent Fitzharris a total of fifty letters, all whimsically illustrated and full of charming, miscellaneous bits of trivia, and fun surprises. And finally, they’ve been reprinted all together. Read it and feel (as I did) the privilege of being Edward Gorey’s pen pal.” — Lithub

“Chockablock with eccentric delights, from Gorey’s surreal, Victorian-tainted illustrations (the dogs stand on swings, perform circus acts, balance on the sun, cruise in balloons) to his self-deflating humor, which is often aimed at his lethargic condition.”Bill Marx, The Arts Fuse

“A unique collection of Gorey’s private works that’s sure to be of interest to his many ardent fans…Gorey took the time to meticulously adorn each envelope with a one-of-a-kind artwork….Fitzharris has also included excerpts from some of the letters, providing a window into Gorey’s summers spent on Cape Cod as well as his professional and intellectual pursuits during this period.”Michael Patrick Brady, WBUR

A delightful new book, From Ted to Tom, collects the marvelous illustrations that Gorey sent to Fitzharris. Each image reveals secrets of Ted and Tom’s friendship—snippets of their conversations and shared memories. Toward the back of the book, there is a section of notes decoding some of the references behind the inside jokes and quotes. What a wonderful glimpse into the mind of one of America’s greatest illustrators.” —Elena Clavarino, Air Mail
