Edward Gorey's 88th birthday marked by Google doodle

Edward Gorey's 88th birthday marked is being marked by a Google doodle in select countries on Friday. Gorey was an American artist and writer known for his grim writing style.
Edward Gorey was born Edward St. John Gorey on February 22, 1925 in Chicago, the city that he spent most of his childhood in. He went to Harvard in 1946, graduating in 1950. Groey moved to New York in 1953, spending the next 8 years living there. He worked for the Art Department of Doubleday Anchor, illustrating book covers and, for some titles, adding illustrations to the text.

His illustration work included Dracula by Bram Stoker, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells, and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. In later years he produced cover illustrations and artwork for many books, primarily for children's books by John Bellairs.
