Hieroglyphic Tales
Available
Six tales so strange that Walpole printed only six copies and told friends they were nonsense written for his own amusement - a princess born of a nose, a king who wants nothing, sentences that fold in on themselves. The man who built Strawberry Hill and invented the Gothic novel here invented something closer to Sterne and Lear, a century early.
