![]() Known for being a bit of a bully and all-around wretch. Let's just say if garden gnomes never freaked you out before, they will now. The aforementioned rabid fan does a better job of telling the author's history (Tony-winning playwright and screenwriter of Harvey) and replaying that Knopf republished the book in the early 2000s (under the name The Wicked, Wicked Ladies in the Haunted House), so I'll stick with my own impressions of the story. ![]() Little did I know it was a collector's item and a little-known cult classic. ![]() I found it on the library shelves and picked it up based solely on the awesomeness of the cover. And it was most definitely the sort of book that I would have loved as a young one. I have no memory of knowing this book as a child (unlike this rabid fan), but I've certainly enjoyed it as a read aloud to the boy for a number of nights. ![]() Mary Chase ~ Don Bolognese ~ Borzoi, 1968 ![]()
