Description

John Drinkwater explores the relationship between house architecture and the realm of Faërie. The house he builds for his wife has many different facades, each serving as a customer model. Thus the house’s interior is architected in surprising ways, clearly transgressing between worlds. The liminal nature of their home reflects the tale itself.
This copy of the sixth and final edition, otherwise pristine, had several old cards from the Alliette Tarot laid in.
