For any six degrees of separation game, comes the Oddfellows Writers Collection. Virginia Woolf and James Joyce were both born in 1882 and both died in 1941. Joyce had great difficulties getting his controversial book, Ulysses, published, but finally had success with a bookshop named “Shakespeare and Company.” Both Shakespeare and Mark Twain were fond of tales of mistaken identities, such as Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper . Mark Twain was a harsh critic of Edgar Allen Poe and referred to his poetry as “unreadable.” Both Poe and Woolf suffered from bouts of depression, which led to their eventual deaths.
The Oddfellows Writers Collection includes Woolf, Poe, Twain, Shakespeare, and Joyce. Each figure measures approximately 2.5" tall. Unsuitable for small children. | |
