According to the product blurb: This well-researched deck seamlessly links the literary works of Jane Austen—characters, conversation, themes—with Tarot symbolism—a provocative convergence flavored with profound meaning.

The Tarot of Jane Austen is the result of an exhaustive research, concerning the links between literature and the symbolic world of the Tarot. Characters, dialogues and customs converge to create a meaning that is at the same time erudite, intuitive and profound.

So I wonder if that's the Lovers card pictured on the box? Blech. . .

I'm a little disappointed in Lo Scarabeo this time. Riccardo doesn't usually pander to pop-culture-what's-the-hit-of-the-season kind of stuff. . .

Oy.

I'll pass, thanks, amusing though it be.

I can't see The Fool clearly, but it looks like the dress she's wearing is a good 15 years out of period --- and the wrong way, chronologically, to be Lizzy Bennet. (Those sleeves appear from what I can see of them to be more Victorian that early Regency.) Not to mention a hat only Lydia would have found suitable! And I don't fancy wimpy, die-away little Fanny Price as the lion-tamer either. *g* I'll have to take a look at it for real, but probably it's a no.
