A novel using the sequence of the RWS minors - can anyone help ?

Vol I, page 272. Kaplan relates the Swords suit to a son (the Knight) being killed and his sister seeking revenge in a story that goes from the 10 back to the Ace.

He says that Staves/Clubs "depicts the story of a family divided between the traditional ways and modern methods. Its moral is that harmony and progress are best attained when the old and new work together." Cups "reveals the paths to happiness and the search of two brothers for companionship." Coins "related the story of a wealthy family and the temptations and alternatives afforded them by the luxuries of wealth."

The Swords suit is the only one in which he details what's going on in each card of the suit.

Whew! Thanks Rodney.

I'd be curious if Kaplan's theory is based on something he heard from someone else or if he just read those stories into the cards himself.

Did your friend ever find the book or reference, Gregory??

I'd be very interested to know myself...
