In this delightful children's book, Donald faces the annoyance of a splinter in his foot. His mother, with great wit, tries to distract him by encouraging him to think of markets, strings, and battles. However, when it comes time to treat the wound with alcohol, Donald discovers that dealing with the pain is more difficult than he imagined. With the unmistakable and detailed illustrations of Edward Gorey, this tale captures the imagination of both children and adults, making Donald's difficulty something everyone can relate to.
Edward St. John Gorey was an American writer, Tony Award-winning costume designer, and artist, noted for his own illustrated books as well as cover art and illustration for books by other writers. His characteristic pen-and-ink drawings often depict vaguely unsettling narrative scenes in Victorian and Edwardian settings.
