First of all; the first copy of this I received was sadly corrupted, but Quatro raced to fix things when I told them, and I want to thank them very much for that! I was really interested to read it so I'm glad I got to.
I've seen the Major Arcana expressed as the story of the Fool's journey before, but I'd never seen the Minors, so it was fun to read them. The stories are very imaginative but manage to link the cards together in a very satisfying way - I wasn't sure how Alison would link the court cards but she managed perfectly!
I love to have extra 'hooks' into the cards - I don't think you can have too many memory aids - so I'll definitely be rereading this to establish them more firmly in my mind. I loved the little keywords for each card as well. Definitely really helpful.
If you're an expert of many years, there isn't anything new here, but for beginners or intermediate this is a great resource.
The Tales Behind Tarot is available now. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
