Here is the real treasure of imagination - books that people wished
into existence, every one unique, every one magical. Some of these books
are made from specialised materials such as emu leather (to look like
dragon scales), real silver, amber, keys, feathers, dreams.
A5 - 312 pages.

Main feature is "The Star" tarot card showing a peacock
or bird of paradise sitting atop the forest canopy looking out to
mountains in the distance and a shining star in a white sky.
Around the card is a celestial blue border with
the constellations of the zodiac starting beneath the sword and
reading counter-clockwise: Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini,
Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn.
The gold symbols in each of the four corners represent
the four Tarot suits and their related elements: Swords (North/Air),
Cups (West/Water), Wands (South/Fire) and Pentacles (East/Earth).

Star" tarot card in the Major Arcana. The symbol at the bottom
is an alchemist's symbol for the Quinta Essentia (the fifth element
or spirit).

(in remembrance of a special sister) and the initials "TS"
