Thimbletack is a brownie who lives in the attic of the Spiderwick Estate. In the television series, he is voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer. Arthur often discussed things with Thimbletack during his work with the Field Guide, among them an eventual transformation from Boggart to Brownie (which Thimbletack doubted). When Arthur became prisoner of the Elves in September 1935, his wife Constance died shortly after and his daughter Lucinda ended up in mental to Arthur's book, but if they answered wrong, t

This stunning scene, painted by Italian artist Federica Ravizza, transports you to Carnevale in Venice. She creates great movement through her use of loose brushstrokes. The masked faces of the figures bring a sense of mystery to the painting as well. Federica Ravizza was born in Gallarte, a small town not far from Milan, Italy, in 1947. She began her art studies under the tutorship of Professor Bassini in Milan. In 1964 she made her first public debut with an exhibition in Milan. She also studied at the Storia del Arte under the guidance of Professor Zametti. The artist’s works are included in the permanent collections of most of the foremost museums of Europe. Her clientele includes many noted private collectors both in Europe and in the United States.
