Between September 1968 and October 1969, Edward Gorey arranged to collaborate on three children's books with author and editor, Peter F. Neumeyer. Over the course of this 13-month period, they exchanged a series of letters that contain musings on a wide range of topics from insect life, to the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, to Japanese art.
Today, Neumeyer has published this treasured collection of memorabilia and correspondence,
Floating Worlds: Letters of Edward Gorey and Peter F. Neumeyer. It's a powerful memoir of an unusual friendship, containing a collection of 75 letters, more than 60 postcards and illustrations, and 38 delightfully illustrated envelopes. We just had to share some of them with you!
