Shipping calculated at checkout.

Hardcover.

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.
