Summary

Wickedly funny and delightfully sad, Three Ladies Beside the Sea is a tale of love found, love lost, and love never-ending. Edward Gorey's off-kilter Edwardian maidens are the perfect accompaniment to Rhoda Levine's lilting rhymes. The place is remote: Three houses beside the sea. The Characters are Few: Laughing Edith of Ecstasy, Edith so happy and gay. Smiling Catherine of Compromise, She smiles her life away. And then there is Alice of Hazard, A dangerous life leads she. The question in the plot is quite simple: Why is Alice up in a tree? The answer can be discovered: Edith and Catherine do.

Author Biography

Rhoda Levine is an acclaimed director, writer, choreographer, and teacher, and the artistic director of Play It by Ear, an improvisational opera group. She is a recipient of the National Institute for Music Theater Award. Her children’s books include He Was There from the Day We Moved In, The Herbert Situation, and Arthur.

Edward Gorey (1925–2000) produced many extraordinary illustrated books, including The Unstrung Harp, The Curious Sofa, The Haunted Tea Cosy, and The Epileptic Bicycle. NYRB has published Gorey’s illustrated editions of H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds, Rex Warner’s Men and Gods, and The Haunted Looking Glass, a selection of Gorey’s favorite tales of ghosts, ghouls, and grisly goings-on.
