Gashlycrumb Tinies Scavenger Hunt

I've featured pics of the Gorey House here a few times so I think I'll skip doing a post with those and instead focus on the Gashlycrumb Tinies Scavenger Hunt.  The tinies is a very macabre alphabet book about 26 children that met tragic ends.  You have to look for clues....both obvious and hidden...and check them off as you go.  Sheila and I were determined to get all 26.

A is for Amy who fell down the stairs

B is for Basil assaulted by bears

C is for Clara who wasted away

D is for Desmond thrown out by a sleigh

E is for Ernest who choked on a peach

F is for Fanny sucked dry by a leech.

H is for Hector done in by a thug

I is for Ida who drowned in a lake

J is for James who took lye by mistake

K is for Kate who was struck with an axe

L is for Leo who swallowed some tacks.

M is for Maude who was swept out to sea

N is for Neville who died of ennui

O is for Olive run through by an awl

P is for Prue trampled flat in a brawl
