The Fairytale Tarot is drawn from a wide range of fantastic, wise and wonderful magical stories. Favourites such as Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella and The Snow Queen are all here, together with stories that you may not know so well - The Superior Pet, Sivka-Burka and the fabulous, funny Tatterhood are perhaps less famous, but equally unmissable. The cards are drawn in a gentle, traditional central European style by artists Irena Triskova (Czech) and Alex Ukolov (Russian). There are also delightful references to "Golden Age" artists, such as Bilibin, Ford, Rackham and Clarke. Based on authentic older tales. Card correspondences follow the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) system - with some provocative and challenging variations. A deck with booklet.
