The Dwindling Party

Description:

Paper Engineering by Ib Penick. A darkly whimsical pop-up book featuring six intricate paper-engineered illustrations, complete with pull-tabs and moving wheels. Told in Gorey’s rhyming verse, the story follows the MacFizzet family on their ill-fated visit to Hickyacket Hall. One by one, they mysteriously disappear, until only young Neville remains, who wryly concludes, 'it was all for the best.'

Condition

8vo, glazed pictorial boards, head of spine bumped, some minor wear to tabs, remains of small tape repair to one illustration. Good.
