The Utter Zoo

By Edward Gorey

Subjects: Alphabet rhymes, Pictorial American wit and humor

Description: The Quingawaga and Mork, Fidknop and Ampoo are among the fantastical imaginings of Edward Gorey's *Utter Zoo Alphabet*. The twenty-six postcards (one for each letter of the alphabet) feature Gorey's illustrations of unusual and biologically questionable creatures, each one described by a typically witty Gorey couplet.
