The English countryside, a quest for antiques and delightful people.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a light-hearted biography of the career of an auctioneer active in the Worcestershire area of England. The events chronicled are mostly the 1970's and 1980s. The influence of the "All Creatures Great and Small" style of reminiscence is clear. The author focuses on interesting people met along the way. Their stories are told with gentle humour. The book begins with farmstock sales and moves on to antique auctions, but you do not need to be interested in either to enjoy it.
