The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust has come out with a new Edward Gorey stuffed toy -
The Black Doll. These wonderful felt dolls come in a fully illustrated box and are limited to 2000 pieces. Dolls can be acquired through the Edward Gorey House online store (
www.edwardgoreyhouse.org).
The dolls (and box) are quite a bit larger than I expected them to be - each doll is a full 14" in length. Created in black felt and stuffed with a plush fiberfill, they can be bent to sit on a book shelf or amongst a collection of other Gorey dolls. I am showing the doll next to a first edition copy of
The Black Doll to give a sense of scale.

I purchased one of these, too, and love it! Not sure what I like best, though - the doll or the box. The box is much better than I ever expected. It's wonderful!
I agree...the box is pretty amazing...
I realize this is old thread, but do you know if there are any ORIGINAL BLACK DOLLS floating around? I know a handful were made.
Thanks!
Black Dolls can still be purchased from The Edward Gorey House - https://goreystore.com/collections/edward-gorey-accessories/products/edward-gorey-the-black-doll-doll
