Maudie's life was rather monotonous until she became a prima ballerina, and then the bat really hit the fan. This offbeat yet highly functional engagement calendar reproduces thirty-two illustrations, with accompanying text, from Edward Gorey's book The Gilded Bat, the story of one ballerina's dreadful demise. Handy front and back flaps feature mini monthly grids for 2002 and double as place markers.
