1493 Writer’s Desk. The Great American Novel could be written in a charming spot such as this! With busts of Shakespeare and Robert Burns and a beautiful water view for inspiration, even a litter of mischievous kittens won’t distract us from the task at hand.  Tea, biscuits, and a pool of spilled ink await the writer who has wandered off for just a moment. Artist Steve Read. 1,000 piece puzzle with a finished size of 24” x 30”.
