Completing Rebecca Harris's trilogy of Shakespearean puzzles, this wonderfully satisfying jigsaw celebrates literature and horticulture alike.
William Shakespeare loved the natural world and constantly referred to flora and fauna in his poetry and plays. Historians believe that he kept a fine garden with a spectacular mulberry tree at New Place, his Stratford-upon-Avon home. Now Rebecca Harris draws upon this rich poetic legacy to imagine a fabulous version of Shakespeare's garden.
In the beautifully detailed puzzle artwork, flowers (like violets, roses and marigolds) bloom alongside herbs (rosemary, thyme, lavender) and vegetables (onion, cabbage, turnip). Above them grow fruit trees (apple, pear, pomegranate) and bushes (gooseberry, blackberry); and through the blossoms and leaves buzz bees, butterflies and beetles. Finishing it off, a suitably horticultural quote from Shakespeare's works frames the scene around the edge.
Rebecca Harris returned to her first love, illustration, after a long career in graphic design, and completed a master's degree at Falmouth University. Drawing inspiration from the Wiltshire countryside around her home, she now creates illustrations and surface designs that celebrate nature and wildlife with rich colours and strong compositions.
