Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Queen of Hearts Tableau of cards (court cards with blanks behind them, others with their proper cards in front) discovered. King, Queen, Knave, and Ace of Hearts, Ace of Clubs, and Knave of Diamonds, and others if desired, as cards. Enter Fairy, who looks on them with interest. Fairy. "The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts, All on a summer´s day; The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts, And took them quite away." So runs the story children learn, Sung by the ancient bards, Of crime and retribution stern, - The epic of the cards. That must have been long, long ago, An age before my day, - Some fairy, pitying their woe, Gave them a holiday. Just see how pitiful their fate! They re pasted on to boards, Crammed into boxes, kept up late, And thumbed by greasy hordes. Turned up, and thrown away, and dealt So roughly with, I´m sure, Poor creatures, they must oft have felt Their life an awful bore.
