Our stylish pendant magnifier seems exactly the type of necklace that might be worn by one of the off-kilter Edwardian maidens in Three Ladies by the Sea—the wickedly funny and delightfully sad tale of love found, love lost, and love never-ending, written by Rhoda Levine and illustrated by Edward Gorey. We offer the book and the magnifier together as a witty and whimsical gift for the fashionable reader. Choose black or tortoise. The magnifier is suspended from a 36-inch matching plastic link chain that looks much like Bakelite. Wear it as a pendant and use it for that small, hard to read print at 2X magnification. Tortoise magnifier comes with a tortoise chain; black magnifier comes with a black chain. Packed in a leopard print gift box. 

 “…This is, of course, a must for the many Edward Gorey fans of all ages, and a chance to discover the fine poetry of Rhoda Levine. I read this one to my five year old grand-daughter because it is just long enough to be engaging and just short enough to be wiggle proof, and just wise enough to set a young imagination free as a bird.”
