Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw
puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of
art. This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, with a
popular masterpiece of post impressionism, Wheat Field with a Lark
by Van Gogh. This 1000 piece jigsaw is intended for adults and
children over 13 years. Not suitable for children under 3 years due
to small parts. Finished Jigsaw size 735 x 510mm/29 x 20 ins. Now
includes an A4 poster for reference. In Wheat Field With a Lark
Vincent Van Gogh abandoned his earlier darker palette, replacing it
with light colours and directional brushstrokes to depict the
airiness of a wheat field swaying in a summer's breeze. In the last
years of his life, he painted several landscapes featuring wheat
fields, all of which evoke a range of emotions. In a letter to his
brother he explained his inspiration: 'I am almost certain that
these canvases illustrate what I cannot express in words, that is,
how healthy and reassuring I find the countryside.' His love for
the countryside can be seen in the quick and lyrical execution of
each stroke that makes every flower and wheat sheaf come alive.
While he was not widely accepted in his lifetime, Van Gogh is now
one of the most renowned artists in the world and his incredible
paintings will be for ever admired.

While walking on a hillside, an unusual line occurred to Lewis
Carroll: "For the Snark was a Boojum, you see." Carroll later
incorporated the phrase into a complete work that became the
best-known nonsense poem of all time: "The Hunting of the Snark."
What could be more of a delight to young readers? Here in one book
is Carroll's famed poem with its original illustrations by Henry
Holliday, side by side with Martin Gardner's "Snarkteasers" -
delightfully puzzling questions like these: - Can you rearrange the
letters of OCEAN to spell something in which one can spend days in
the ocean? But if the ocean is frisky, it's risky. - Seven is
certainly an odd number of coats to be wearing. Can you make the
number even by crossing out one letter? - See if you can change one
letter of SNAIL to make a word that describes a sound made by
certain wild animals. Next, try changing the first two letters of
SHARK to one letter and make a four-letter word that describes a
sound made by a certain tame animal. Young Snark-hunters have been
sailing along with that extraordinary sea-going crew in search of a
Snark since the poem was first published a century ago. And Martin
Gardner's Snarkteasers are sure to make their fantastic voyage more
enchanting than ever before. A delightful dividend for Snark fans
is the text of another famous Carroll poem, "Jabberwocky," complete
with Sir John Tenniel's famous drawings.

This book contains scores of intriguing puzzles and paradoxes from
Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, whose interests

important problems in symbolic logic and propositional calculus.
Written by Carroll expert and well-known mathematics author Martin
Gardner, this tour through Carroll's inventions is both fun and
informative.
For more than fifty years, the quiz show has thrived on American
television and radio. From "Pot o' Gold" and "The $64,000 Question"
to "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy," quiz and game programs have
entertained and informed millions of Americans, promoted and sold
untold quantities of products, generated fortunes for their
creators and producers, and filled the pockets of a multitude of
jackpot winners. In this volume, Thomas DeLong offers the first
in-depth history of quiz and game formats available in print. He
describes how mass communications transformed the old parlor
guessing games into enormously popular features on radio and
television and examines their impact on American society and the
consumer marketplace. DeLong also explores their decline in the
wake of the quiz scandal inquiry of the late 1950s and their
subsequent revival as new shows on daytime TV that began to build
up a loyal following.
"Quiz Craze" is enhanced by the recollections, insights, and
anecdotes of many who brought the quiz show genre to listeners and
viewers. Producers, directors, gamemakers, writers, emcees,
panelists, and advertisers have added their first-hand observations
on the inner workings and widespread influence of quiz show
programming. Former contestants and their families offer
reminiscences from shows such as "To Tell the Truth," "What's My
Line?," "Name That Tune, " and many others. DeLong also draws on
the resources of key organizations in the broadcast field, archival
records, and published media reports to demonstrate the
extraordinary popularity of the game show format.
