Julien Delval is perhaps most well known for his beautiful and exquisitely detailed illustrations that appear on many fantasy book covers for adults and teens. Julien is also a sought-after illustrator for board games, which is how this particular puzzle came to be. Malédiction was originally the cover art for a now out-of-print game by Alea-Ravensburger in Germany. The timely resuscitation of this thematic cover art seemed a perfect fit for a Halloween-themed puzzle.
Whimsies for this puzzle are themed around sorcery, alchemy and creatures associated with Halloween. Clever puzzlers may also find all the necessary "ingredients" to make their own Feature Creature!
More information about Julien Delval can be found at his blog and at the Bureau 21 Gallerie website.

Malediction
This is the third stumpcraft puzzle I have done. I liked it very much. The pieces were interesting and there is so much going on in the picture. It was definitely my favourite so far. I have enjoyed doing all three . My first was Badlands....that one got me hooked. It was a Christmas present. My second was Bursting Blooms....that one confirmed my like for these. Puzzles (it was my sisters Christmas present). Malediction was my pick and I rate it as excellent.

My favourite puzzle
I was gifted this puzzle for Christmas 2022 and have completed it once with my partner and 3 times on my own since. It's always such a pleasure to pick up. I love the smell of the box, feeling the edges of the intricate whimsy pieces and the satisfaction of filling in the tricky spots as you go. You can't go wrong with this purchase. One of the best in Stump Craft's collection.

We absolutely love your puzzles. We received our first one from our son, then we bought one for ourselves, then bought one for our son-in-law. We are all hooked on these puzzles and trade them with our family.
