Meet the mind behind the PBS Mystery—Coco Raymond and Freya Weil of the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth, Massachusetts join the Antiques Freaks to tell all about the delightfully strange and weirdly cozy world of the (in)famous American collector, author, illustrator, playwright, set and costume designer.

I’m a huge fan of Edward Gorey and am lucky enough to live a short drive away from his home - now The Edward Gorey House Museum. I can’t recommend strongly enough that you take a trip to the Cape and visit — and there is a joy of viewing the objects Edward collected and seeing how they made their way into his books! Thank you for bringing attention to Edward and the museum. I adore Coco and Freya! They mentioned the book club they host, “Books, Please!” — they meet monthly, reading books Edward Gorey enjoyed and discussing how they influenced his own work. If you’re local, you can attend in person, and if you’re far you can attend virtually online — you can buy tickets through the Museum’s website. Thanks for hosting such a lovely interview!
