…..more  THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM

An enchanted deck
is a kingdom without walls,
yet entry is impossible without
the key. Hidden within are clues
to an undiscovered mystery,
fragments from a half-remembered
dream or a forgotten riddle.
A surreal turn has transformed
an ordinary pack of playing cards
into a fanciful gallery, where
art and verse brush against
each other, casting off curious
sparks and shadows.
Fifty-three cards. Four
familiar suits. The landmarks
are the same, but the scenery
is somehow different.

This set is without any doubt one of my personal favourites.

It is Designed and illustrated by:
Tony Meeuwissen.

And published by
Running Press
Book Publishers,
Philadelphia (1992).

I bought it from THE MUSEUM COMPANY
in New York Price $25


This deck is included in the BLGUPC under Transformation Decks.
