Books like Elephant House; or, the Home of Edward Gorey

A look into the artist Edward Gorey's house. Photographs of books shelves, cats, collections of bits and bobs. I love looking at peoples homes, their book shelves and their collections of bits and bobs that other people would think of as rubbish but looking into these pictures had a very gloomy feel. Reading the foreword when I had finished the book I realised what I had begun to suspect, after Edward had died somebody had asked to go in and photograph all the rooms and objects. I wonder how Edward would have felt about that, it felt a bit invasive and very sad to see his pets still there.
