Alice In Wonderland Playing Cards

Glass Owl

If you are a fan of Alice In Wonderland you may want to check out these playing cards. There are quotes and beautiful illustrations on every card. (Love the joker card!)

I think that they would make a great oracle deck. (I just added it to my wishlist!) There are two types of decks available, one with blue backs and one with red. If you order them from Amazon, Prospero Art ships for free (at least in the US, not sure about other countries.)

Prospero Art (through Amazon) also offers a Shakespeare "Quotes" Playing Card deck. There is a different quote from Shakespeare on each card, and every play by Shakespeare is quoted. Quotes on all of the number cards contain a reference to that number in the quote. In addition, each of the four suits of the deck represent a different dramatic temperament, with all of the heart card quotes representing themes of love and romance, diamonds: wealth, spades: intrigue and the clubs: war.

I've always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland... so I had to get those as well. (Blue back.) I'm not sure if I should say thanks for the info, or darn you for enabling me. :D

oh wow! Those are fab!
I already have a couple of Alice card decks...but these are super.

I have this deck - and they're wonderful. The enterprising reader could certainly use them as an oracle deck! :D

The Lo Scarabeo version is also nice, I got it from R Somerville. (Not Tenniel though.) They also do a Mermaids with pics from the Tarot.

Prospero won't ship to the UK from Amazon. However, Prospero Art's website will....http://prosperoart.com/ haven't followed through to see shipping costs though.

Think I may have been able to sidestep amazon UK altogether thanks to a friend here at AT (thanks cardlady :))
