A Renaissance man of boundless imagination, Edward St. John Gorey (American, 1925-2000) authored over one hundred published works, designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions, and had a profound affectionfor ballet, literature, film, and animals. Cats were a particular Gorey favorite and appear in many of his works, as do a number of other creatures—some recognizable, and some known only in the trademark crosshatched drawings emanating from Gorey’s prolific pen. All of his characters inhabit a uniquely enigmatic world, where the lamentable frailties of existence are humorously assuaged by the hopeful delights of fantasy. Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, our 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzleworkers.

Edward Gorey is beloved for the boundless imagination and sharp humor exhibited in his more than 100 published works. His profound affection for literature, film, ballet, and storytelling are on display in this puzzle, adapted from a black-and-white drop curtain designed and used for the 1992 Philadelphia and Cambridge productions of Amphigorey: The Musical, which Gorey both wrote and designed the sets for. In this illustration, lackadaisical Edwardian characters lounge across the curtain in a fantasy that could only come from the strangely-wonderful mind of Gorey himself.
