The Edward Gorey House is in Yarmouthport; once his home, it is now a museum. They have his famous fur coat on display, the one he wore in The Unstrung Harp, as did a skeleton on the cover page of The Vinegar Works, among other books. I acquired a pair of his little etchings there, one is of a dead tree with several eerie birds. Perhaps it was one of these two trees. Maybe not, but they are uncannily similar.

  1. Here we go again for a second try. We love Gorey and I think that a college friend of David's who was an orphan was actually befriended by him years ago.
