Le retour de Treehorn qui, dix ans après avoir rapetissé, est à nouveau aux prises avec des femmes-tronc et des hommes au visage velu, au milieu motifs monochrome sans pareils. Au détour d’une page le jeune (anti-)héros esquisse un sourire, fait suffisamment rare chez Edward Gorey pour être noté.
Treehorn is back ten years after his shrinking adventure. Once again he has to deal with men’s exuberant facial hair and ladies with no apparent legs, in the middle of great b&w patterns. For the first (and probably the last) time, the young character seems to smile. Pretty unsual in Gorey’s drawings (unless for cats but that’s another story).
