The Hapless Child is an infamous piece of work by Edward Gorey which details the rather painful decline of a young girl, published in 1961.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The girl is the daughter of a well-known British Army reservist, who was sent to war, but was deemed dead in battle. As a result of this, a sickening chain of events occur to the girl, starting with the death of her mother.This book is deemed to be one of Gorey's most morbid tales, as it not only features the death of a child, but the slow, painful death of one, both physically and psychologically.

Adults Are Useless: To start off, all of Charlotte's family members are absent throughout the majority of the book. Following that, the teachers at the orphanage don't do anything about Charlotte being bullied due to her being a scapegoat.
