In this enigmatic, surreal, wonderfully entertaining tale, three
mysterious figures set out from Willowdale, traveling by handcar. On the
way to nowhere in particular they pass a number of odd characters and
observe a series of baffling phenomena, from a house burning down in a
field to a palatial mansion perched precariously on a bluff.
At once deeply vexing and utterly hilarious, darkly mysterious and
amusingly absurd, The Willowdale Handcar is vintage Edward Gorey.
