Moyshelé Rosencrantz, Maker of Riddlesby Moyshelé Rosencrantz - illustrated by Philippe Tauzin |
|
To order: currently out of stock. More available March 2007. A collection of forty-nine modern riddles, cunningly crafted in the Old English poetic style. Includes 17 full-page illustrations by Philippe Tauzin, bringing the stories told by the riddles to life. An example of a riddle can be found on the riddling home page. The riddles - little poems to be fair - generally describe simple, everyday objects, in the first person, but do so in such away as to purposely lead the reader astray. They take us back to Anglo-Saxon times, when itinerent bards travelled from mead hall to mead hall, sharing their own compositions and those which they had picked up along the way. Indeed, the riddles form an ideal game for any family gathering, where young teenagers and adults alike delight in the challenge of guessing. |
