Even though I wasn’t looking for puzzles that include Virginia Woolf, my search for a Christmas puzzle led me to two more puzzles that do.
Years ago, Cecil Woolf sent me an envelope with this canceled Virginia Woolf stamp.
As readers of this blog know, I have written about Woolf puzzle finds several times before — in May of 2020,in September of that year, and just last month.
Today I share a puzzle that features a Woolf stamp, although I cannot find any evidence that the stamp of Vanessa Bell’s portrait of Woolf, was actually produced. The other puzzle features Bell’s cover of To the Lighthouse.
