Influenced by the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice, H. P. Lovecraft, Luis Royo and Brom, the popular Favole Tarot displayes gothic scenes by fantasy illustrator Victoria Frances. Born in 1982, her childhood in the forests of Galicia and the romantic environments she discovered in her first trips to Paris and London were important influences in her work. At the age of 22, she published Favole 1: Stone Tears, based on her memories of cities like Venice and Verona. Ms. Frances is now known as one of the most important contemporary illustrators. The boxed deck includes 78 cards in full color (card titles in Spanish). A instruction pamphlet is included, with a general introduction to tarot.
