A perfect holiday gift for puzzle lovers from John Derian, the world-famous and beloved home goods designer and New York Times bestselling author. Who said Christmas has to be all pine boughs and poinsettias? Not Currier & Ives, clearly, who published this breathtakingly colorful greenhouse fantasy of a generous holiday bouquet. Taken from the collection of John Derian, A Merry Christmas joyously transcends the clichéd palette of greens and reds. As you put it together petal by petal, you can imagine the delight of receiving this basket of living jewels on a snowy Victorian December day. John Derian is an artist and designer whose work with printed images of the past transports the viewer to another time and place.
