Floating Worlds Children's Asian & Asian American Books the butcherEdward Gorey and Peter Neumeyer met in the summer of 1968. Gorey had been contracted by Addison Wesley to illustrate "Donald and the," a childrens story written by Neumeyer. On their first encounter, Neumeyer managed to dislocate Goreys shoulder when he grabbed his arm to keep him from falling into the ocean. In a hospital waiting room, they pored over Goreys drawings for the first time together, and Gorey infused the situation with much hilarity.
