EDWARD GOREY'S DRACULA - TOY THEATRE
Bram Stoker's 1897 novel took place in the wild Carpathian Mountains, London and rural England, and various places in between. But the Dracula for which Edward Gorey created the set designs reproduced in miniature here--a version that ran to nearly a thousand Broadway performances--compresses the action to one locale: the sanatorium of Dr. Seward, near the town of Purley, somewhere in the English countryside.
Based on Edward Gorey's set and costume designs for his award-winning production of Dracula, these die-cut, scored, and perforated foldups and foldouts include:
- 3 pop-up 16 x 12" stage sets (only one is shown above)
- Cast of 8 (15 figures in all)
- Stage Furniture
- 4-page booklet with exceptionally simple assembly instructions, a synopsis of Gorey's Broadway adaptation of Dracula, and notes on Edward Gorey (1925-2000) and his many magical creations.
- Cigar-box style packaging, approximately 8 1/2 X 12 1/2 X 1"
- ISBN: 978-0-7649-4541-0.
- RRP: £18.99

SUPER NATURAL OR SCIENTIFIC? A QUIZ DECK ON MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA, URBAN LEGENDS, AND PARANORMAL EVENTS.
From the dawn of time, humans have attempted to explain the unexplainable, fashioning fanciful stories to make sense of the unknown. Ghosts, sea monsters, vampires, witches, unicorns, and more have always been the fodder of mythology. But lest you think this is a mere peculiarity of long-ago times, think aliens and UFOs, crop circles, and the Bermuda Triangle—modern man is no less susceptible to concocting curious interpretations of seemingly inexplicable phenomena. This quiz deck of 48 cards runs the gamut of odd events and legends throughout history—from Sasquatch to the Jersey Devil, haunted houses to puzzling diseases, the stones of Carnac to the enigmatic human-sized holes of Peru. So gather 'round and brace yourself for a trip through the unsettling, strange, and spooky recesses of the mysterious.

THE FAIRY FELLER'S MASTER STROKE - Jigsaw PuzzleThe Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke, 1855–1864 by Richard Dadd (English, 1817–1886).
Published with the Tate Collection.
The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke is the best-known painting by English artist Richard Dadd (1817–1886), many of whose paintings reflect his interest in supernatural subjects, especially fairies. A promising artist at an early age, he began studies at the Royal Academy Schools in London at the age of twenty. Within five years, however, he began to display signs of insanity and soon afterward was confined to a mental hospital. Dadd created The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke while at Bethlem Hospital, the first of two institutions where he spent the last forty-four years of his life. The painting, drawn from his imagination, shows the “fairy-feller” about to crack open a large chestnut to be used in the construction of Queen Mab’s new fairy carriage. Dadd’s masterpiece is housed in the Tate in the United Kingdom.

Happy Birthday
Jean-François Millet (October 4, 1814 – January 20, 1875) was a French painter and one of the founders of the Barbizon School in rural France.
Millet was an important source of inspiration for Van Gogh, particularly during his early period. Millet and his work are mentioned many times in Vincent's letters to his brother Theo. Millet's late landscapes would serve as influential points of reference to Monet's paintings of the coast of Normandy; his structural and symbolic content influenced Seurat's as well.
View more of Millet's work in our 100 YEARS OF FRENCH PAINTING Book of Postcards:-
You will find examples of the traditional grand portraiture of Jacques-Louis David; the romantic bravura of Theodore Gericault; idealized descriptions of country living by Barbizon artists Jean-Francois Millet and Camille Corot; the social satire of Honore Daumier; brilliant and deceptively casual “snapshots” of everyday subjects by Edgar Degas; a voyeuristic look at an “exotic” culture by Jean-Leon Gerome; the cool academic representation of the ideal human form exemplified by William Bouguereau; experiments in new subjects and painting techniques developed by Impressionists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, and Camille Pissarro; the radical approach to color and pattern of post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin; and more. These different artistic visions demonstrate the dramatic breadth of style and subject produced by nineteenth-century French artists.
