Description
The author of Once a Jolly Swagman and Bagman to Swagman shares his amusing, and sometimes hair-raising, anecdotes about his life as an international collector of antiques and works of art. These are stories of excitement and disappointment, passion and commerce, and a world where philanthropy rubs shoulders with crime - often to hilarious effect.Tags
