There seems to be an endless supply of jigsaw puzzles that include a connection to
Well, the supply is probably not endless. But every time I think I have exhausted all avenues in my Woolf puzzle search, a new puzzle appears.
This go-round, I found two. And both connect to Woolf’s 1925 novel Mrs. Dalloway.
Mrs. Dalloway 1
I discovered the first thanks to a Facebook post by Ben Hagen, president of the International Virginia Woolf Society.
It featured a panoramic puzzle from the New York Puzzle Company that measures 39″ x 13″ and depicts an imaginary street scene populated by characters from the novel. The cost of the 1,000-piece “Mrs. Dalloway” is $25.99 on Amazon. But you can buy it for $16.50 on the puzzle company’s website.
Mrs. Dalloway 2
The only image is the profile of a woman’s face superimposed over the text. It comes in two versions: 500 pieces and 1,000 pieces and a variety of colors. The cost of each is $39.
However if puzzling is not your gig, you can purchase the same image — words and all — as a tote, a T-shirt, a blanket, a scarf, a pillow, and more from Litographs.

I don’t do jigsaw puzzles (don’t have a table big enough to spread out on) – but I’m always delighted when there’s a Woolf reference in the crossword puzzles I do religiously.
