The most artistic, playful, creative expression I’ve ever seen on a paper envelope.

These illustrations are done by Edward Gorey, in the personal mail he sent to his good friend, Tom Fitzharris.

Extraordinary and inspiring — a beautiful gift for anyone who appreciates a piece of mail from a friend.

Thoughts from Bryn

It's a beautiful, appealing size and therefore a perfect gift. Such a compelling story of friendship and the most pleasing artwork to enjoy.

More Details

When Tom Fitzharris met Edward “Ted” Gorey in 1974, the two quickly struck up a friendship. Over the next year Gorey sent a total of fifty letters to Fitzharris. Every envelope Fitzharris received was illustrated by Gorey, and filled with surprises: typewritten letters with news and opinions from Gorey’s life, handwritten note cards with unexpected quotes, sketches, inside jokes, and a host of other joyous miscellany.

Assembled here for the first time, these envelopes and their contents deliver all the humor, imagination, gossip, and wonder that came with being Edward Gorey’s pen pal.
