First edition of Edward Gorey's pack of twenty divination cards and its accompanying interpretive booklet, numbered 676 of 750 numbered and 26 lettered copies (the latter copies not published for sale). Its creator, Madame Groeda Weyrd ("a nom de guerre merely; her true one is known to few this side of the grave"), was a clairvoyante of Finnish and Egyptian extraction who made her home in the Staten Island portion of Tierra del Fuego; she was long a persona non grata "to many of the rich and famous because of her fearless predictions of disaster." Toledano A113b.
