The Recently Deflowered Girl Summary

The Recently Deflowered Girl by Edward Gorey

Long out of print, The Recently Deflowered Girl is a tongue-in-cheek guide providing advice for that trickiest of situations. In the voice of Miss Hyachinthe Phypps, Mel Juffe's hilarious yet demure counsel is delightfully accompanied by Edward Gorey's ink and watercolor illustrations.

The Recently Deflowered Girl Reviews

'Gorey's unique talent should be represented as completely as possible in every collection of American art and literature.' Booklist 'Irresistible black-and-white drawings...irrepressible wordplay.' New York Times '[Gorey creates] dark masterpieces of surreal morality...beautifully depicted.' Vanity Fair 'One of the most original artistic and literary minds in late 20th Century America.' Los Angeles Times

About Edward Gorey

A truly prodigious and original artist, Edward St. John Gorey (1925-2000), gave to the world over one hundred works, including The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest and The Doubtful Guest; prize-winning set and costume designs for innumerable theatre productions from Cape Cod to Broadway; a remarkable number of illustrations in publications such as the New Yorker and the New York Times. Gorey's masterful pen and ink illustrations and his ironic, offbeat humour have brought him critical acclaim and an avid following throughout the world.
