Pepys were a British card game manufacturer between 1938 and 1978, whose hallmark was the high quality of the artwork they produced. They made many variations on themes, on only a few differing children's card games. This set featured illustrations from Disney's 1947 compilation film Fun and Fancy Free. The second segment of the film was entitled Mickey and the Beanstalk, transposing Mickey Mouse into the classic fairy tale.
