Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Praise for He Was There the Day We Moved In

"Gentle color washes over Edward Gorey's illustrations of spindly boys and shaggy dog and skies. They set just the right note for this story that achieves a sensitive equilibrium of pathos and humor, a total effect that is sentimental without apology and optimistic without reason." - The New York Times

Praise for Edward Gorey:

"Edward Gorey's work is remarkable and mysterious. I find it fascinating." - Max Ernst

"I like to return to Edward Gorey's works...he really is becoming a master." - Edmund Wilson

"One of the most original artistic and literary minds in late 20th century America." -The Los Angeles Times

"[Edward Gorey] is sublime, absurd and mystical." - Oskar Kokoschka

"[Edward] Gorey's unique talent should be represented as possible in every collection of American art and literature." - American Library Association (Booklist)

Reseña del editor:

The naming of dogs is a difficult matter, as Ogden and his big brother discover in this most charming of collaborations between Rhoda Levine and Edward Gorey. You see, the sheepdog was sitting patiently in the back yard when the family moved in. No one mentioned that there would be a sheepdog in the yard, but there he was. He seemed to be waiting for something, and the family, especially Ogden, is determined to find out what it is. Does the dog want dinner? a lollipop? a stray cat? conversation? No, what the dog wants is-a name! But you can't just choose any name for a grown-up dog. No, it has to be the right name. And with a little patience, and a lot of persistence, the brothers might just figure out just what that name is.
