It's by a guy called Edward Gorey I think.
But Tim obviously likes it, huh...

I own and love this book. Always makes me laugh.
W is for Winnie embedded in ice, X is for Xerxes devoured by mice.

I love T is for Titus who blew into bits. With the picture of a little boy holding a parcel.
I actually find the Gashlycrum Tinies one of Gorey's weaker works though, The Unstrung Harp, The Object Lesson, and the other alphabet one are far superior.
My favourite though is The Listing Attic:
There was a young curate whose brain
Was derranged from the use of cocaine
He lured a small child
To a copse dark and wild
And beat him to death with his cane.
