Joyful Nook, 982 pieces. (And the postcard-sized bonus puzzle they sent, untitled). I bought three of these larger puzzles from Joyful Nook; the two largest, including this one, had essentially push-fit cutting with occasional interlocks. I got a sense of accomplishment from doing the first, somewhat less so with this one, which also had some real slivers of pieces. The image was pretty and I was often convinced that a piece was missing but then eventually discovered it. For true difficulty lovers only (who don't mind moving sections around very carefully, given the absence of interlocks). 3/5

bonus puzzle

whimsies, much larger than most other pieces
