Reseña del libro "Gobolinks: Or, Shadow Pictures for Young and old (en Inglés)"
This special edition of 'Gobolinks: or, Shadow Pictures for Young and Old' was written by Ruth McEnery Stuart & Albert Bigelow Paine, and first published in 1896, making it over 120 years old. This rare find is filled creepy, fantastical and wondrous beasts - what are they, exactly? Are they goblins or demons? Maybe imps or fairies? Or maybe something else entirely, like bugs, or butterflies, or even a mermaid or two. Some are whimsical or funny, some are sinister and dark. Herein lies the 'Gobolinks' - more commonly know as Ink-Blots, created by the same method as the 'Rorschach Test' images. These are used by psychoanalysts and psychiatrists who interpret their patient's answers on what they see in the pictures, and subsequently determine their mental state. But Gobolinks is also a game - one where you make the Ink-Blot image, then tell a story about what you see, in the form of a poem. This is a fabulous rare find and a must-have addition the libraries of all collectors of the weird, the curious and the strange. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying! THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT.
