(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Edward Gorey. Greengrocer and fairy-tale connoisseur Flemming Flinders heads off wearing "his best suit" in search of "fame and fortune." This quirky reissue--"one of...Gorey's original works in color" (according to the publisher)--will be appreciated by collectors.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Edward Gorey. "Once there were three homes / That stood beside the sea; / In each house lived a lady / Of great nobility": supremely happy Edith of Ecstasy, ever-smiling Catherine of Compromise, and Alice of Hazard, who sits in a tree waiting for a bird. Alice's longing won't seem particularly relatable to kids, but Levine's lilting rhymes and Gorey's always intriguing illustrations have appeal.

(3) YA Illustrated by Edward Gorey. This collection features thirty-eight retellings of classic Greek myths, including heroes that are both familiar (Perseus; Echo and Narcissus; Midas) and less well known (Tereus, Procne, and Philomela; Cephalus and Procris). Told in straightforward, accessible prose, the stories provide a fine introduction to Greek mythology. Gorey's occasional staid line drawings enhance the text.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Edward Gorey. In Donald and the..., Donald finds a worm; after many suspenseful pages it becomes...a housefly. In the second story, Donald's mother removes a splinter from his leg. Short on plot, long on atmosphere, these small, elegant editions (with new afterwords by the author) will be warmly welcomed by both Gorey fans and children who should probably be watched closely. Review covers these titles: Donald and the... and Donald Has a Difficulty.
