Julia Donaldson, Axel's collaborator on \u003ci\u003eThe Gruffalo\u003c\/i\u003e, has penned a  wry, witty new translation of the original German. The result is a  triumph of negativity, in the macabre yet merry spirit of the late,  great Edward Gorey. Superbly miserable, brilliantly curmudgeonly and  oddly cheering, gloominess has never been so appealing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you  have ever felt that winter is cold and dreary but spring comes too soon  each year, or that you'd rather just pull up the bedclothes and turn out  the light, then \u003ci\u003eThe Gloomster\u003c\/i\u003e is the book for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40708295360609,"sku":"9780571274246","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_6722146_jpg.jpg?v=1714567033","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780571274246-the-gloomster","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
