12mo. (32)pp. Demonstrating his mastery of the imaginative leap, Gorey presents a story about "something way up high" that gradually descends through an old family home, to the point where "it's gone beneath the cellar floor. We shall not see it any more" - despite never having seen it at all. Minor soiling, otherwise about fine in printed wrappers.
