Excerpt from The Lucky Piece: A Tale of the North Woods The tourists had passed a number of children already, but this one was different. The others had been mostly in ocks - soiled, stringy-haired little mountaineers, who had gathered to see the stage go by. The smooth, oval face of this Child, rich under the tan, was clean, the dark hair closely brushed - her dress a simple garment, though of a fashion unfavored by the people of the hills. All this could be comprehended in the brief glance allowed the passengers; also the deep wistful look which followed them as the stage whirled by without stopping. A lady in the back seat (she had been in Italy) murmured something about a child Madonna. Another said, Poor little thing! But the boy in the front seat had caught the driver's arm and was demanding that he stop the stage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Making Up with Mr. Dog By Albert Bigelow Paine

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.

I due noti scrittori americani Ruth McEnery Stuart e Albert Bigelow Paine pubblicano nel 1896 l'affascinante album GOBOLINKS, che raccoglie un centinaio di Tavole a Macchie d'Inchiostro, accompagnate ciascuna da una definizione in forma di titolo e da una poesia esplicativa di quello che ci si può vedere dentro. Il portfolio di McEnery Stuart e Bigelow Paine utilizza una tecnica astratta di action painting, realizzata ben prima che questo stile espressivo venisse perfezionato da Jackson Pollock. GOBOLINKS è una bella performance artistica in se stessa, nella tradizione della KLEKSOGRAFIEN che era stata pubblicata dallo psichiatra Justinus Kerner. Ma quello che oggi ci interessa davvero è che le Tavole GOBOLINKS sono quasi identiche a quelle che il pubblico ingenuo chiama spesso, assai impropriamente, "Macchie di Rorschach." Studiare questo Album e poi rivisitare anche i molti Test a Macchie d'Inchiostro che sono stati pubblicati ben prima di Rorschach, è allora un esercizio interessante (e quasi indispensabile) per capire davvero gli strumenti della psicologia moderna. Ma anche per evitare brutte figure agli psicologi.
