Way back in 1971, the delightfully subversive Florence Parry Heide (author of Tales for the Perfect Child and Fables You Shouldn't Pay Any Attention To) teamed up with the inimitable Edward Gorey to create one of the more quietly quirky heroes on the children's book shelf. Treehorn is a remarkably unremarkable lad, yet somehow he has a talent for getting into and out of (and sometimes right back into) bizarre situations—occasionally growing down instead of up, misapprehending what is valuable, even encountering a genie. This slipcased set collects all three Treehorn books in handsome hardcover editions, for unusual children and adults of all ages.
