“If you want to pretend you’re shrinking, that’s all right,” said Treehorn’s mother, “as long as you don’t do it at the table.”‘ The 50th anniversary edition of this surreal and off-beat story about a boy called Treehorn, neither properly heard nor seen by the grown-ups around him. Gorey’s illustrations are characteristically sublime.
