On a long trip abroad, Gorey's young Drusilla is introduced to high art andgourmet meals. She gamely tries to appreciate the museums, rich food, andarchitectural wonders that delight her parents, only to find herself driftingalong in a puzzling world. But then Miss Skrim-Pshaw takes her for tea with MrCrague, a sockless, elderly man with a notable past, and their brief encounter iswhat will haunt Drusilla years later. Her casual promise to the old man has led tosudden recollection, then sad regret. In this curious coming-of-age tale, Edward Gorey employs his signature darkhumor and exquisite illustrations to deftly portray the precociousness of a childon the brink of adulthood. One of the most enigmatic of Gorey's many books,The Remembered Visit, originally released in 1965, is unforgettable.
