Roses, lilies, violets, and marigolds are among the 50 flowers, all featured in the works of Shakespeare, that wind around this beautifully literary circular jigsaw puzzle
Shakespeare grew up in the English countryside and filled his works with references to flowers, plants, animals, and insects. Celebrating them all, Rebecca Harris’s rich illustration style brings this circular jigsaw puzzle to life. Memorable quotations from the poems and plays scroll through the art: "I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows" from
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
