Clinging to edges and ledges, gargoyles protrude from the roofs, corners, and buttresses of medieval buildings everywhere. From their lofty perches they spit, stick out their tongues out, threaten, and even laugh at us. Ugly and grotesque, gargoyles may have once been used to terrify all those who came near them. Today, however, their entertaining expressions and often bawdy behavior are frightfully amusing. Four of these mischievous devils have been captured in these delightful notecards--a rude little imp, a nasty dragon, a chubby winged griffin, and a batlike demon. The back of each card explores the history and meanings of these fascinating, and fantastic, creatures. Inspired by the Abbeville Press book Holy Terrors: Gargoyles on Medieval Buildings. (12 notecards, 12 envelopes, 3 each of 4 images, 5 x 5")
