CONFESSIONS OF A BIBLIOPHILE

“THE BUTTERFLY COLLECTOR”  Tea Cooper..

Well worth reading if only to learn more about the early history of both Morpeth and Sydney from the late 19th to early 20th century.

 A powerful story, with the horror of attitudes of a different era and the unexpected connections over fifty years… beautifully written as always by Tea Cooper.
