Edward Gorey “Life is Sweet” Sterling Silver Pin

Adapted from an unpublished drawing, this sterling pin is engraved on the back with one of Edward Gorey’s most quoted pronouncements: “Books. Cats. Life is sweet.”

Gorey (American, 1925–2000) was an artist, writer, and book designer. The creator of more than one hundred works—from a wealth of darkly hilarious books to the animated opening sequence of the PBS television series Mystery!—Gorey was a master of the amusing, the strange, and the unexpected. 

Pin size: 1" tall x 1.75" wide
