The Enchanted Ear

About the Book

The Enchanted Ear tells the story of a collector's education, experience and passion: there's the thrill of the chase, the pain of irrevocable loss, the joy of love's labor rewarded. No dry treatise on collecting and restoring antique music boxes, The Enchanted Ear is an on-going narrative of the wonders and perils of life. Collectors will smile in recognition as they read this book. And if you're not a collector, watch out: you may suddenly find yourself wandering through antique shops and auction galleries.
