It's difficult to say what The Iron Tonic is about, although it is 'known the skating pond conceals a family of enormous eels,' and that 'the light is fading from the day. The rest is darkness and dismay.' Finally, though, The Iron Tonic could be seen as Edward Gorey's version of a winter afternoon in one of the great Russian novels of the nineteenth century.

This review is from: The Iron Tonic: Or, A Winter Afternoon in Lonely Valley (Hardcover)
A strange, gloomy tale, with full-page illustrations, each explained by a rhyming couplet. Set in a snowy land, near a sanatorium, the world seems full of hazards:
"The careful stroller should beware
Of objects falling from the air"
shows a carriage clock flying across a wintry landscape.
Eels, a deceased runaway orphan, a stone....peculiar yet strangely enjoyable. (
