Melanie Thanks for answering my question! I had to dig deeper into tarot history, as you said because the Marseille doesn’t have illustrated pips…so I was wondering if Mme. Ryzhkova was inspired by a Minchiate or a Sola Busca.
I really enjoyed your book: it was a quick read because I couldn’t put it down.
I loved the weaving in of the Rusalka folklore, and hope you didn’t have to deal with too many angry or disappointed readers who wanted an ‚Ariel‘ mermaid…
